We've just barely started to move from the era of free IPv4 to the one where you have to buy it, and from everyhing I see, there is vast amounts of space that will be available once people realize they can get real money for it. The prices cited a couple of messages back seem to be in the ballpark. It will be a long time before the price of v4 rises high enough to make it worth the risk of going v6 only.
New ISP's are born everyday. Some of them will be able to have a "Buy an ISP that has IPv4" or "Buy IPv4 space from known brokers" line item in their budget as part of their launch plans. Most won't. Mark.
