I think the combined effect of these things means - we will not be running into a wall at any time - availability of IPs will slowly decrease over time (as cost slowly increases)
I have to disagree here. 10% of the requests are for 90% of the 170 - 200 million IPv4 addresses given out per year. These are going to large broadband ISPs in blocks of a quarter million or (much) larger, upto /8. At some point, the RIRs will be out of large enough blocks to satisfy these requests. Nothing to be done about that.
um, so thats consistent with what i said.. in fact it implies only a very small number of organisations need to pay close attention and those are the ones best suited to implementing policy changes to ensure their users continue to have a good service this means 90% of orgs can probably wait and see what the 10% do first..
