IPs in Guyana Guyana: • Population:735,000(est.Jul-2016) • MobileSubscriptors:550,000(est.Dec-2015)~75% • InternetPenetration:305,000(est.Mar-2017)~40% Internet Addresses: • IPv4: 60,000 (Today) ~ 5.1 users have to share 1 Internet address (avg). • IPv6: 3,600000,000000,000000,000000,000000 • Up to 17 Million subscribers
Policy problem(s) • Despite availability, IPv6 is not being deployed locally which may be attributed to a perceived lack of demand, low awareness, and/or other factors. • Testing of IPv6 has occurred locally but IPv6 traffic was not permanently enabled. • Presently, Internet users remain vulnerable because of a lack of traceability of IPs due to excessive CGNAT. • This situation, if left unattended, will create significant obstacles to Internet growth.
Case for Action • Consideration 1: There is insufficient measurement and research on planning phases, which makes it difficult to determine the real status quo of IPv6 adoption • Consideration 2: Measured end-user internet behaviours usually cover accessed Internet services (e.g. Alexa stats), but not enough is known about user communities and potential Internet developments (gaming, next-gen application development, cloud-based enterprise services). The scope for measuring content and end- user activities could be adjusted • Consideration 3: Nevertheless, low deployment stats require multi-actor interventions judging Y-O-Y trends and understood remits of ISPs
Caution • Bottom-up, open, transparent policy process to enhance trust • Avoid unnecessary “administrative burden” to existing ISPs (state requirements for PTTNS players as prescribed under Telecommunications, Fair Trade and Company laws) • Avoid having strategic decisions only contemplate financial/accounting reasoning • Understand policy and legal framework and particularly the need to be flexible
Policy objective • Measurement and monitoring of IPv6 deployment • Exponential improvement of IPv6 deployed and available to the end-user • Enabling environment to facilitate: – Regular end-user QoS – High-end user activities – Potential investment opportunities for Guyana-based Internet services available globally (could target the Guyanese diaspora in the first instance) • Influence IPv6 uptake by stimulating awareness and demand

IPv6 Mobilisation • An IPv6 Task Force (TF) is a not-for-profit working group that coordinates efforts to promote the deployment of IPv6 in a country or region • True IPv6 TFs must be multistakeholder (ISPs, IXP, government, regulator, academia, OEMs, etc.) • There are TFs in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay, Panama, Cuba, Mexico and Peru among others • FLIP6 and LAC IPv6 Task Force: http://portalipv6.lacnic.net/en/flip6-and-lac-ipv6-tf/
