That will never happen. If you offer me $1000 per IPv4, then I will happily terminate some user contracts and sell their IP space to you... In fact it will never become even that expensive. With a marked price of $10 I am buying IP space for customers as needed and I will include free space in the contracts. If the price went to $100 I would tell all users that they need to pay monthly rent for their IP or alternative, the user would have to accept carrier NAT in some form. And then I would proceed to buy a new house for the money I make by selling address space. There is a ton of address space that is inefficient used. We will be able to buy excess from companies that "create" space by optimizing their existing space. There is a reason we have not seen any rise in the price even after multiple years with depletion in large parts of the world. Regards, Baldur
