The organization responsible for allocating these numbers is the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, which delegates blocks of IP addresses to five regional registries. It is IANA that allocated its last available IP address blocks to the regional authorities on Thursday.


The regional registries, in turn, allocate their IP addresses to companies, ISPs and telcos. With no new blocks coming from IANA, they will start to run out of their address pools over the next several years, starting with the Asia-Pacific authority, known as APNIC, probably in mid-2011.


As regional authorities run out of available IP addresses, their clients will too. That means ISPs and companies will have difficulty assigning unique IP addresses to their customers, employees and servers as soon as this year, starting in Asia.

IP addresses are overrated in my opinion.

I just use my street address in place of an IP and it speeds up my connection by about 83%. And the bonus is that it's much easier to remember. I may try using my social security number and see if that speeds it up even more.

I lol'd. Thought the op might be of interest to some people. I.E.: SEO'ers who are paying for extra IP's, et cetera. I wouldn't be surprised to see prices / availability change over the next year or so if this matters as much as that article makes it out to.
 
If only something like IPv6 existed......

SHUT THE FUCK UP! THIS HAS NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM FUCK FUCK YOU FUCKING FUCK ASS YOUR BAD AT COMPUTERS!!.

I recall seeing a few thing early this year about google and some other big names trying out some IPv6 stuff hope it worked out for them.

Also dose anyone want to speculate on if Google is going to factor in IPv4 addresses like they do domain age? That would be funny, start buying up them aged IPs now!
 
When I IPconfig myself... I am showing both a IPv4 and IPv6 address already...


Edit - looks like comcast activated it on it's DOCSIS 3.0 network on Jan 31st. (which I use), but it was showing weeks prior to that.

Yeah apparently the whole internet will need hardware upgrades before ipv6 will be widespread. So the problem with ipv6 is that it can't just be rolled out, because webhosts and ISP's etc. will all need to upgrade their stuff.
 
I don't know about the rest of you, but I think this will be a problem.

Companies are cheap, companies wont spend money needed for upgrades. IPv6 cant roll out. There aren't many large scale bridge options.

We need ipv6 so when i buy a fridge its got an ip. technology++

It will eventually become one of those things that just has to get done. But it will probably take a while.
