According to experts, about 94 percent of those addresses have already been allocated, and the Internet may run out of IP addresses by 2011, at least under the current IPv4 system.

The good news is that the majority of IP addresses can be easily freed up by cell companies switching to ipv6. The bad news is that we all know the cell companies hate innovation.

Sounds like moving to v6 would a good reason to increase charges,the ISP's over here would love that idea,they're already fleecing us for cell calls not to mention the joke our BB is since majority here are on copper line, as for ADSL 2 although it's faster it ain't nearly fast enough i'm lucky to download a single file at 1.3mb...lol..,i estimate we're 10 years behind everyone else & dam the price to surf with just a measly bloody cell phone,what more hardware would ISP's need to install to get IP6 running i'm sure they'll find some lame excuse that there'll need to be a price increase across the board..bloody s.o.b's i want bb for nothing dam it..

The security hole in VPNs happens when you use the "IPV6 over ipv4" service. If you are just using ipv6, and the proxy is only ipv6, then the security hole is closed.
