Asia-PAC has *already* run out of IPv4 addresses at the RIR (APNIC)
in May 2011, and the first Telcos are *already* not giving their customers
IPv4 addresses anymore. RIPE land (Europe and near East) will run
out approximately in August, and the first large-scale carriers are
already buying and deploying carrier-grade NAT44 boxes to work around
IPv4 shortage.
I'm perfectly fine with people not liking IPv6 for a number of reasons
(I have my own list), but this isn't going to change the numbers.
7 billion humans on earth, 4 billion IPv4 addresses - whatever we do, it
will just delay the inevitable ("rearranging deck chairs on the titanic").
