This is the second day since the officail launch of the Internet Protocol Version 6(IPv6) world wide. This means that the developing countries or companies worried about the 4.3 billion addresses of the IPv4 being grabbed before they do, now have a reason to smile and plan because IPv6 offers more addresses.
There has been alot of questions surounding the new protocol but all answers that one needs to know are out there since it has been years developing this internet protocol and so experts studied the problems and challenges experienced with the IPv4 and put them into consideration for the IPv6.
Yes, IPv6 is more secure than IPv4 and there are many more interesting advancements. Take for example, one doesn't need the same infrastructure to assign IPv6 addresses like it's done while configuring IPv4 addresses.
The transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is slow and one doesn't need to worry so much but it is important to be aware and make sure that purchases of internet gargets support the new protocol. There is a list in wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_IPv6_support_in_routers) that has a growing list of routers that support Ipv6.

Ip providers will contact their customers for important changes that might affect the customers daily operations but the users should report or seek advice from their Internet providers relating to this new protocol.
