It's possible, but it's pointless. First, there is no IPv4 to IPv6 transition plan. The two protocols don't coexist. Second, unless you have an IPv4 address, you aren't on the Internet. Third, there are MORE THAN ENOUGH IPv4 addresses to go around. The problem is that there is no price for IPv4 addresses. They are priceless. There is no market for them. Consequently, they are misvalued, misallocated, and misplaced. We need a free market for IPv4 addresses, just like we need a free market for any scarce commodity.
