No Barry, I respectfully disagree. It's almost 2012. The first predictions of
IPv4 exhaustion were made *last century*. We've been predicting it to the
month level for like 5 years now. Any business that is making business plans
and models that doesn't take "we may not get IPv4 space" into account and have
a contingency plan for that *deserves* to be soundly mocked and ridiculed in
public.
