Peru & Telefonica lead the number of IPv6 users in LatinAmerica

This short post aims to report the explosive growth of Internet6 users that Peru is experiencing during the last months. The relevance is twofold: it is the first country in Latinamerica region with a serious IPv6 uptake and it is also the first spanish-speaking leading country. Telefonica del Peru is the ISP behind this numbers, according to the Telefonica press release linked below.


Folks, I have been observing the latest statistics in the region of Latin-America and it seems that Peru IPv6 customers are increasing at an exponential rate (Now it is about 2,10% out of the total accesses to Google originated in this country).

Using the methodology presented in a previous post, I conclude there are about 226,496 IPv6 users in this country, becoming the absolute leader of IPv6 deployment within this region.

If you are designing and developing IPv6-only/enabled Digital products or services, do consider to serve them in Spanish too, as long as Latinamerica is getting on board!

Today, 6/6/2013, Telefonica has published a press release stating a relevant deployment in this country that is obviously the cause of Peru leading numbers. These are excellent news in such a day, the first anniversary of the World IPv6 Launch Day.

Congrats to Peru and my colleagues at Telefonica del Peru!
