Japan : the Yozan operator (formerly PHS / Personal Handyphone System) will begin to test its pilot project for its WiMax wireless telecommunication technology by mid-June. The first operations will be held in Tokyo, Kyoto and Okayama, in collaboration with 30 companies. Its network is adapted to IPv6, with a double-stack IPv4/IPv6. The goal of this test is to check the technical performableness of WiMax, and the services which take most advantages of IPv6 such as security, QoS and Plug-and-Play. Services providers will begin the tests applications in July.

Japan : the Ubiquitous Open Platform Forum (UOPF)
is inaugurated by a combined group of ISPs and information appliance makers. UOPF serves as a forum where collaboration between "information appliances (hardware)" (Sony, Pioneer, Sharp, Sanyo, Hitachi, Mitsubishi...) and "broadband (service)" is put into practice. From the viewpoint of users, UOPF seeks to jointly propose "broadband x information appliances" that can be used "easily and safely by anyone," and have them penetrate everyday life in the true sense of the term.

Korea: in accordance to the ''IPv6 Promotion Master Plan" adopted by the Ministry of Information and Communication last year, the National Internet Development Agency (NIDA) has been committed in designing a deployment plan for IPv6. The agency has currently acquired a total of 31 IPv6 addresses and allocated them to local Internet service providers. This makes Korea the eighth-largest holder of IPv6 addresses in the world and only second to Japan in the Asia-Pacific region.

China : IPv6 Summit in China 2005, held in Beijing on April 4-6, 2005, impressed the participants on the strong drive by the Chinese government in implementing IPv6 for next-generation networking. Chinese government is known to be in the process of building the nation-wide next-generation networking infrastructure, in a project called CNGI, or China Next Generation Internet. This research project is a collaboration among virtually all ministries of the Chinese government, as well as academic organizations and private sector communication service providers. Wu Jianping, Professor of Tsinghua University and the director of CERNET 2, explained that all the network for CNGI will be in place by the middle of 2005, and the project will focus on the applications and services in the second phase of development from 2006 to 2010.

China : eight departments of the Chinese Government announced in Beijing that CERNET2 was going into formal operation.
CERNET2 is the biggest next-generation Internet network in operation in the world and connects 25 universities in 20 cities. The speed in the backbone network reaches 2.5 to 10 gigabits per second and connects the universities at a speed of 1 to 10 gigabits per second. CERNET2 is also the first network based on pure IPv6 technology.

Japan : Softbank speeds up its home internet services in Japan.
Since the month of Febuary, Softbank, leading internet service provider in Japan through YahooBB!, accepts suscriptions to any of its customers willing to connect with a 1Gbps bandwith through optical fibre. Softbank becomes consequently the first ISP to offer such an offer for home-networking connections. In addition, until this period, the installation fees (18,900 yens / 137 euros) will be free, as well as the first two months memberships. After this date, the service will be charged at 6,890 yens (49,90 euros) per month without the phone option (7,270 yens / 52,60 euros).
Another innovating service launched by Softbank this month is the suscriptions call to access their very first IPv6 service. It will be definitely launched and accessible to everyone by the end of the year.

Korea : Korean Government announced BcN + IPv6 plan as below "Internet to Be 50 Times Faster by 2010 ", by Cho Jin-seo Staff Reporter . The telecommunications network in Korea will be 50 times faster than its current speed and will cover the entire nation by 2010. The Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) on Monday unveiled the plan to foster Broadband convergence Network (BcN) infrastructure. The government will invest 2 billion won, together with 67 billion won from the private sector, in improving the quality of the broadband multimedia service covering the whole country. The MIC said that for BcN to be successful, it must provide a high quality of service, security, and sufficient Internet protocol (IP) addresses using IPv6. IPv6 is an enhanced address system, which provides almost limitless IP addresses while the current IPv4 system only has about 4.3 billion addresses and is expected to be full by 2006. A special research team, consisting of 178 experts from various research labs and companies, compiled the report. The research team, which has been working on the project since May, will hold a series of seminars to finalize details of the project in December. The first seminar will be held today at the Seoul Hilton Hotel in downtown Seoul.
