IANA is out of IPv4.
APNIC is into their austerity policy which covers their entire last /8.
RIPE-NCC is probably next and I expect they will likely run out next =
month.
I suspect ARIN's free pool will probably last until October-ish, give or =
take.
LACNIC and AfriNIC are kind of wildcards. If consumption remains within =
their
regions, they probably have addresses for some time.
If organizations from the other regions start pillaging their address =
space, it
could evaporate in weeks, depending on how they react.
