-- the price for IPv4 addresses is climbing,
with rumors of some folks trying to corner the

Economics 101 and the laws of supply and demand.
Should make for interesting times ahead for
those organizations that continue to demand IPv4 addresses.
There are interesting time ahead for anyone interested in the topic.
My suspicion (hope?) is that the increased price
of IPv4 (and operational challenges dealing with
GGNAT) will encourage folks to take IPv6 more seriously.
The opportunity to take IPv6 seriously was not
taken seriously. I doubt that moving to IPv6
will be about technical challenges.
