One year ago today, the Internet Society spearheaded an event dubbed World IPv6 Launch Day. One year later, has IPv6 adoption actually increased?

IPv6 Launch Day aimed to accelerate global IPv6 adoption by encouraging sites around the world to turn IPv6 on and leave it on. The Launch Day event was the Internet Society’s second yearly event for IPv6, following IPv6 Day in 2011. 2013 sees no IPv6 Day event, but that doesn’t mean the job of moving the world to IPv6 is done.
