The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has handed out the last blocks of IPv4 addresses to the five regional registries, who are now in the business of giving it to ISPs (who will give it to users). The most demanding registry, the Asia-Pacific region, thinks it has somewhere from three months to six before its pool is exhausted, and it must start to deny requests for IPv4. ISPs will of course use various address sharing tricks to keep IPv4 going, but the fact remains that after that point the Internet is in two pieces: those who have IPv6, and those who don't. If a site comes along with IPv6 only, or an email provider, or a chat server, we're stuffed.
We need IPv6. BrailleNote needs IPv6. Cheers, Sabahattin ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender. If your reply would be useful to the list, please send a copy to the list as well.
