Actually, when you consider how much of the world is IPv4 and how much
is IPv6, it wont be that much of a problem for 99% of users for years to
come, given all the existing big players always have plenty of stock,
just because there's less than a /8 available in a region, doesnt mean
there is not multiple /8's issued but not in use ready to satisfy future
growth.
In AU the top 4 players could handle IPv4 for another several years
growth, before the need to dual stack end users, for a further 5 years
before phasing out IPv4, and I would be highly surprised if thats not
the case in ever country.
