IPv4 Address Shortage

[helix2301]

Looks like the internet might be moving to IPv6 sooner then most people expected. Larger companies like Google and Facebook are already running IPv6 I would have expected this there infrastructure is huge and always growing. Plus Google especially has a reputation for being the first to do something not to mention they are the search giant of the world so it would figure they would be running IPv6. The reason that IPv4 addresses are running out is mostly because of the mobile market boom over the last few years. I think with the industry having a lot of success on the Windows 2008 and Windows 7 platforms I think you will see a lot of companies start moving over to IPv6. I know one of the Microsoft conferences I was at just recently they were bragging about Windows 7 and Server 2008 IPv6 support. I am sure as technology and the internet grow and progresses I am sure we will see the full move over to IPv6.
