IPv6 National Adoption Hits Final Sprint: Home User Coverage Breaks 95%
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology releases an IPv6 deepening action plan, carriers fully shut down IPv4 access, and IoT devices achieve full IPv6 support.
Policy Background
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology just released the "IPv6 Deepening Application Action Plan (2027-2030)," mandating that all basic telecommunications enterprises completely cease providing public IPv4 internet access services by the end of 2027. This marks the final sprint toward full IPv6 adoption nationwide.
Rollout Timeline:
| Phase | Target | Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Carriers shut down IPv4 access | June 2027 |
| Phase 2 | 100% of new IoT devices support IPv6 | December 2027 |
| Phase 3 | Enterprise network IPv6 upgrade complete | June 2028 |
Key Metrics
Home User Adoption
- Coverage rate: 95.3% of home users now on IPv6
- Active users: Over 520 million active IPv6 users
- Upgrade rate: 88% of existing home routers have been upgraded
Technical Hurdles Overcome
- Address Management: Sophisticated IPv6 address management platforms now operational
- Security: IPv6-native firewall systems fully deployed across carriers
