<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Quite interesting, how are you accessing IPv6, native
dual-stack or tunneled ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>In my case it was tunneled and the termination server
was in Amsterdam, hence Google thought I was in that area and could not do
proper localization. Remember that Google.com is running dual-stack today and my
web browser prefers IPv6 connections even if they are tunneled. If ISPs use
tunneling servers locally then this localization issue will be solved and
response times will be faster.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Interesting. Because here the <A

from Saudi Arabian IPv6 network. Although the local is not in Arabic but there
is a "Go to Google Saudi Arabia" link on the page.

<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Calibri>Here are a few World IPv6 Day

<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Calibri>Arabic localizations for Google, Yahoo
and Bing are not working today if I run an IPv6 connection. Google thinks I am
in Holland, Bing thinks I am in Canada and Yahoo doesn't default to the <A
href="http://maktoob.yahoo.com">maktoob.yahoo.com</A> portal used in the Arab
world. This could be explained that I am on a public IPv6 address that uses
the Freenet6 IPv6 server in Amsterdam and a Canadian ISP assigned block of
IPv6 addresses. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Calibri>This means Middle East ISPs should give
IPv6 access to their subscribers over their own IPv6 assigned address blocks
to get web page localizations to work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Calibri>Otherwise things are running smoothly as
standard pings to the regular web'pages of Facebook, Bing, Yahoo, CNN and
Google are all defaulting to IPv6 addresses and responses without the brute
force of "ping -6". And running in IPv4 only mode has no issues as
well.</FONT></DIV>
