Akamai To Offer IPv6 To All In April 110
netbuzz writes "Akamai says that it will offer IPv6 services to its entire customer base beginning next month – a long-awaited move that is expected to be a major boon to the adoption rate of the next-generation Internet Protocol. Akamai hoped to release its production-grade IPv6 services by the end of 2011, but the task proved more difficult than originally anticipated. Akamai has been beta testing its IPv6 services with key customers since last fall."

IANA, the top level of organizations which handle the allocation of IP addresses, has run out of IPv4 addresses more than a year ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orJpEJuZick [youtube.com]
The regional registries still have addresses and are going through them at different rates, so they'll run out at different points in the future.
RIPE (Europe) is down to about 40 million addresses, including the last 16 million which will be assigned under a different, more stringent policy: http://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/ipv4-exhaustion/ipv4-available-pool-graph [ripe.net]
APNIC (Asia) is already on the last /8 block: http://www.apnic.net/community/ipv4-exhaustion/graphical-information [apnic.net]

When those are depleted, it's going to be NAT all the way down.
