Curran told The Register now is the time to move your website or organization over to IPv6, a space that "contains enough address space to sustain the internet for generations."

Bet it won't last a single generation before it's filled up.

All your IPv4 addresses are belong to us.

IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses, and there are 3.4 × 1038 available – that's 340 undecillion, although, practically speaking, 42 undecillion are usable. Plenty, in other words.

Mommy, mommy. When I grow up I want to be an Undecillionaire like Donald Trump.

Not really that big of a deal.

Simply offer non carrier companies a couple of blocks of v6 address space in exchange for a class A space. Make the change over free and after a year or two, start raising the price of /8 address space via annual registration.

For example, IBM holds the 9 network (9.0.0.0). HP holds the 15 and 16 networks. Others include Ford, Halliburton, Prudential and USPS. DOD holds another 10 or 11 /8 assignments last I checked.

Eventually move the v6 zero net (0:0:0:0:0:ffff:????:????) to be non routed internal addresses only like RFC 1918 addresses.

We'll be out of addresses by Tuesday.

It's official. The USA has reached the end of the INTERNET! We've run out of IPv4 32 bit addresses for computers, websites, etc! The well has run dry. . . all new addressing will have to be IPv6 — PING!

You've Reached the End of the Internet!
Ping!

When I was obtaining my MCSE certification back in the 1990s, when the internet was still relatively new, our instructor told us that eventually the 4 billion plus IP addresses would run out. It seemed hard to believe back then. Of course, we didn’t anticipate IP addresses being assigned to refrigerators and garage door openers.

[Flick Lives]

"Who used up all the IP4 addresses?!"

So this says that - in stock market terms - the primary offering has been allotted. It seems to me nothing prevents person A who owns a /24 for example selling that subnet to person B at whatever price person B chooses to pay for it.

They say “They ain’t making any more real estate”. But real estate is bought and sold every day.

Potentially same thing here.

“When we designed the Internet 40 years ago, we did some calculations and estimated that 4.3 billion terminations ought to be enough for an experiment. Well, the experiment escaped the lab,” said Vint Cerf, the ARIN chairman who is often dubbed the father of the internet.

Hmmmm,

I thought Al Gore invented the internet....
