Morning Tech: Last IPv4 address blocks assigned, Hotmail Offers Powerful Email Alias

Last IPv4 address blocks assigned, ICANN pushes for IPv6 adoption

“Eventually there will be no more IPv4 ‘public address space,'” “When that exhaustion occurs (and it won’t happen in a uniform way—some places will run out before others), then there will be some devices that only have IPv6 assignments. They will not be able to directly interact with IPV4-only devices.”

“IPv4 address exhaustion is a watershed moment in the industry. The Internet is rapidly running out of IPv4 addresses and those addresses will likely be depleted this year. Mobility, video, virtualization, and the consumerization of IT are imposing increasing demands on the network and every device, network etc. that uses an IP address must eventually support IPv6.[source]
