Qwest Addresses Explosive Internet Growth with Dedicated IPv6 Internet
Address

Government and Business Customers Now Benefit from Enhanced End-to-End
Security

http://i.marketwatch.com/MW5/content/story/images/PR-Logo-Businesswire.gif

DENVER, Jul 08, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- To stay ahead of the Internet's
explosive growth, Qwest Communications (
<http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/Q> Q 5.36, +0.01, +0.09%) today
announced it is offering public and private Internet Protocol Version 6
(IPv6) addresses to its government and business customers. Now Qwest iQ(R)
Networking service customers can take advantage of IPv6's built-in security
measures and options, as well as a near-endless supply of IP addresses.

This morning, Qwest chairman and chief executive officer Ed Mueller
announced the new IPv6 functionality during a keynote address at the
Cybersecurity Symposium 2010 conference hosted by the Armed Forces
Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA) in Washington, D.C..
Mueller also is the current chairman of the National Security
Telecommunications Advisory Committee (NSTAC).

KEY FACTS

-- Qwest offers transition paths so customers can use the next generation of
addressing protocol to run both IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses via either:

-- Dual Stack approach which offers the ability to run both IPv4 and IPv6 so
customers may transition over time and with ease; or

-- Native IPv6 which allows Qwest customers to adapt to the next-generation
IP protocol as they build new locations and bring on new sites and devices.

-- IPv4 has a limit of approximately 4 billion serviceable IP addresses that
will exhaust in 2011 as the current pool of available IPv4 addresses
dwindles to approximately 600 million, according to the Internet Assigned
Numbers Authority. However, IPv6 is nearly inexhaustible (128 bits -- 2 to
the 128th power).

-- With native IPv6, Qwest business and government customers no longer need
to use Network Address Translation (NAT), making configuration of complex
networks simpler while providing simpler connectivity between peer-to-peer
networks for highly secure end-to-end connectivity.

-- Through the Qwest Control dashboard, iQ(R) Networking service customers
can view their new IPv6 addresses, take advantage of trouble ticketing and
repair functions and create reports. Qwest iQ(R) Networking service is a
reliable and dedicated Internet access service over the advanced Qwest 10
Gig backbone, one of the most sophisticated networks available.

-- To participate in the federal government's Networx program, the largest
communications services contract in the world, Qwest was certified to offer
both IPv4 and IPv6 capability and public and private network native IPv6
connectivity. In June, Qwest announced compliance with the requirements for
offering Most Trusted Internet Protocol Services (MTIPS) to federal agencies
under the Networx contracts. Qwest provides its MTIPS Internet security
solution in a cloud-based environment to secure federal government agencies'
external access points to the Internet.

SUPPORTING QUOTE

Pieter Poll, Qwest chief technology officer

"Qwest has long supported the federal government's focus on cyber security.
We have worked actively with government and industry on issues associated
with protecting networks and the information that flows through them. By
offering the next-generation security that is baked into dedicated IPv6
addressing, Qwest is doing its part to provide government and business
customers with the most advanced Internet security that is available."

Internet Access; Federal Agencies Must Select Vendor, Place MTIPS Orders by
