Comment Lots of IPv4 addresses left (Score 1) 450

Currently we have less than 50 percent world-wide Internet penetration, and we have used most of the address space.

Um, no.

Take a look at the IPv4 address space. Over a third of the addresses are still unused.

Now, I understand that this is a result of the stingyness in handing out IPv4 addresses due to the address crunch -- I'm ready for IPv6 to go mainstream, so the /48 I get from freenet6 will be usable -- goodbye silly NAT hacks! -- but the statement that we're nearly out of addresses is untrue.
