That was an idiotic article. The only thing holding back widespread adoption of IPv6 is the need to do it any time soon. Benjamin G. Edelman is clearly another twat who wants to monetize every aspect of the Internet so that the wealthy can charge the poor to take part. Which is unsurprising given where he's tenured.

After careful review, I have determined that they do not.

People have been predicting that we will run out of IPv4 addresses "very soon now" since, oh, 1992 or so.

Couldn't get past the title. "Could the Internet run outta space". Considering how much unused space and bandwidth there is out there, and the fact a few billion people are still just getting up to speed with the idea of 24/7 broadband, I'd be more concerned that Wayback Machine's future yottabyte server planet wouldn't be enough by far.

Here's the hotness right here:
"If this transition goes smoothly, consumers should never notice. To date, IP addresses have been a trivially small part of the cost of Internet access and Web site hosting. Even if IP address prices increased 100 times, consumers still probably wouldn't notice," he said.
As long as the stream of hot poon isn't interrupted, why would anyone outside of the IT industry care?

We're no strangers to love. You know the rules and so do I.

Oh, if anonymous domain renewals jumped from $20 to $200 a year I think a good number of people would notice. And if Y2K has taught us anything, it that digits and shit are vital when computar stuff is at steak. |

Given that they currently cost nothing, that is correct. One cent would be infinitely more expensive. |

I wonder if a wide adoption of IPv6 would make it acceptable to only use calculators to subnet for shit like the CCNA/etc.
