Less Than 1 Year Until The Internet Runs Out of Addresses

[[RDH]Razor®[OT]]

The Internet will run out of Internet addresses (http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/the_internets_running_out_of_room.php) in about 1 year's time, we were told today by John Curran, President and CEO of the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN). The same thing was also stated recently by Vint Cerf, Google's Chief Internet Evangelist. The main reason for the concern? There's an explosion of data (http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/the_coming_data_explosion.php) about to happen to the Web - thanks largely to sensor data, smart grids, RFID and other Internet of Things (http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/internet-of-things/) data. Other reasons include the increase in mobile devices connecting to the Internet and the annual growth in user-generated content on the Web.
