No Barry, I respectfully disagree. It's almost 2012. The first predictions of IPv4 exhaustion were made *last century*. We've been predicting it to the month level for like 5 years now. Any business that is making business plans and models that doesn't take "we may not get IPv4 space" into account and have a contingency plan for that *deserves* to be soundly mocked and ridiculed in public.
