This is a very interesting interview from IPv6style on line journal to Canon CTO.

IPv6 will make it easier for vendors like us to offer connectivity-based solutions like MEAP (Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform) in a cost-effective manner. Users, on the other hand, will be able to connect to desired resources securely for necessary information exchange or operations. With MEAP, for example, we can easily ensure node-level security when sending important images to business partners. Autoconfiguration of IPv6 address would drastically improve ease of installations and moves of the devices. We can conduct remote maintenance or control, and program updates cost-effectively in a secure manner.
