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

[Derek Trotter]

I get the feeling that there's a tendency among many organizations to 
not do anything to get ready for IPv6 until they have to.  I'm guessing 
when the times comes that no more IPv4 addresses are available or 
affordable, there's going to be a rush to change to IPv6 and a lot of 
people are going to screw it up.
