This is <http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2011/06/world_ipv6_day_8th_june_2011.html>. In the previous paragraph he says: "We've also, just for today, made the usual BBC Online address (http://www.bbc.co.uk) enabled for both IPv4 and IPv6. You shouldn't notice the difference, with the site working as normal for you. In fact, unless you're a bit of an expert, you won't be able to tell whether you're accessing the site over IPv4 or IPv6." so I think it's fairly clear that he understands, and just worded things poorly. I suspect he meant to say something like "the only way to access the BBC's site over IPv6, today, is to [set up a tunnel]". > I tried replying in the comments, to explain that IPv4 services should remain > unaffected as the point of today is to test IPv6, not break IPv4, but they > seem to have been disabled :-/ That post seems to have comments enabled now.
