IPv4 Exhaustion - the Endgame begins

[Jay Ashworth]

IANA -- or what's left of it -- issued it's last 5 reserved /8 IP address
blocks to the 5 regional Internet Registries; there are no more unassigned
class A blocks.

If you maintain any filePro apps which store IP addresses as decimal 
dotted-quads, remember that you'll shortly need to expand those to 
accept hex-and-colons IPv6 addresses as well.

If you maintain any filePro apps *accessed* from the Internet, remember
that IPv4 is about to commence it's long, slow slide into obscurity;
you'll need to make those apps accessible by IPv6 fairly soon.

Comcast is, for example, about to roll out native IPv6 to cablemodem 
customers.

That is all.
