The Internet is Running out of IP Addresses

According to the folks at http://bit.ly/6QK89F we will run out of IP4 Internet addresses on Oct 25, 2012.

This is so typical of the IT industry.  Back in 1995 when the Internet was opened for commercial use work was well underway to support IPV6 and most hardware and software companies including IBM with the iSeries have had support for IPV6 for years.  This is pristine software as virtually NO ONE has ever used it! 

Oh well, the world needs a new crisis!  Maybe Al Gore who as you will recall invented the Internet will step up to the plate and fix this!  Oh yes, of course those other companies will change their addressing schemes to IPV6 and we will still be able to use IPV4! 

Right! 

Well folks this one will be interesting!
