BBC reports, IPv4 address depletion has been raising for several years and finally, a detailed figure of WHEN exactly is out. So far only about 300million IPv4 addresses are available and according to the current rate the end of IPv4 would be on September 9, 2011, and all the IPv4 addresses would be used up.
In less than 18 months there will be no more big blocks of net addresses to give out, estimates suggest.
Reported that the rapid growth of mobile devices is the main reason for depletion of IPv4 addresses, this problem has come faster than expected. You can get in touch with your Internet service provider and ask the settings to enable IPv6.
The only way to solve this problem is to switch to Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), which provides more addresses.
