Running out of Internet

I'm not too concerned about it since if we run out of actual usable IPv4 addresses, they'd have no choice but to move to IPv6, and it probably won't even get to that point before we move to the newer tech.

IPv6 penetration is no more than a couple of percent of all devices. We WILL get to that point.

And again, even if new people are 'forced' to use IPv6, they won't be able to communicate with any server stuck on IPv4. Which could be most of them.

I'm sure they can use specially configured gateway servers for the domain names(pure IP most likely will not work great, but an address name can prolly be worked, you'd have to run a lot of gateways for end users) while slowly updating them, this is computing, there are always options.
