Qwest Communications is offering public and private IPv6
addresses to its government and business customers. Key functionality includes the ability to use the next generation of addressing protocol to run both IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses via either a Dual Stack approach — which offers the ability to run both IPv4 and IPv6 — or Native IPv6 — which allows Qwest customers to adapt to the next-generation IP protocol as they build new locations and bring on new sites and devices. With native IPv6, Qwest business and government customers no longer need to use Network Address Translation (NAT), making configuration of complex networks simpler while providing simpler connectivity between peer-to-peer networks for highly secure end-to-end connectivity. Qwest is providing a control dashboard for customers to view their new IPv6 addresses, take advantage of trouble ticketing and repair functions and create reports.

From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about IPv6. Here is what it replaced:
IPv4 served 1981–2011. What ultimately replaced it?
IPv4 32-bit addressing with best-effort datagram delivery and (post-CIDR) classless routing; NAT stretched its ~4.3 billion addresses far past exhaustion, keeping it alive despite IPv6. Its job passed to IPv6 — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
