Re: With the Americas running out of IPv4, it’s official: The Internet is full

[Michael Butash]

Sad part is most technical implementations are still crippled.  Cisco 
has put on events at the past several yearly "ipv6 congress" events, and 
every year they still general client usage to be problematic in a "pure" 
ipv6 environment.  I think last year was apple ios not supporting dhcpv6 
various other nuances to the default configurations that were needed to 
work around client issues year after year.

Carrier technologies like mpls are still somewhat contingent on ipv4 
even, everything else is mostly work-in-progress. Carrier-grade NAT 
solutions are expensive and/or still fluid in terms of spec, so most 
enterprises, especially around the US are like "we'll get to it when we 
have to", and that means at the cost of buying v4 addresses to *not* 
change.  Ask a developer how to provide ipv6 services, and I bet they'll 
look at you funny too as most haven't even gotten v4 yet.

All it's doing is creating a new ecosystem of supply and demand. Good 
thing companies like godaddy have been hoarding them for years, waiting 
for the gold rush to begin (like, now <http://www.ipv4auctions.com/>).
