On Thursday 21 February, the European Commission is scheduled to adopt a
Communication on the Next Generation of the Internet and the migration to
the new Internet Protocol Version 6.

In this connection there will be a briefing in the Commission press room at
11.30 CET by Mr. Joao Da Silva, Head of Unit at the Directorate General for
the Information Society.

He will outline the Commission's initiatives to introduce the next
generation of the internet in Europe and the migration to the Internet
Protocol Version 6.

If nothing is done in this regard, it is expected that there will be a
significant risk that internet addresses will be exhausted by 2005. So this
is an issue which concerns all of us working daily with the internet and
which is of great importance to the European industry.

Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Best regards.
