Technical difficulties with Skype and home networking were traced back to issues with IPv6 implementation by ISPs like AT&T and Comcast.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open episode 648 of the No Agenda show from Amsterdam and Northern Silicon Valley. Curry describes resolving technical streaming issues from the previous broadcast by adjusting his router's Wi-Fi radio frequency bandwidth from 20 to 40 megahertz. The hosts discuss the challenges of managing a live chat room and technical backchannels while troubleshooting hardware during a production.
