We've (finally) roadmapped IPv6 support for www.bbc.co.uk & www.bbc.com!
Via the same workstream, we'll also support v6 on BBC Account (login) and more (maybe all) of media (iPlayer and Sounds) plus our mediation layer.
Yeah I know it's 2026 and others have been doing v6 for aaaaages but we had some awkward blockers and coordination between www and media to sort out.
No firm timelines yet but I'm expecting it to be in the first half of 2027 assuming no delays 🤞🏻

@tdp_org@mastodon.social Ha, I may be able to match the BBC for my rather smaller site, and serve (static) IPv6 from my kitchen cupboard, solar powered, in the same sort of timeframe!

@tdp_org@mastodon.social That’s great news! Not in the UK personally, but follow the tech side of BBC with interest, and definitely excited to see more IPv6 adoption :>
