Are there any expectations of a Gold Rush for the remaining addresses? I would expect to see at least see some kind of escalation.
This question probably calls for another picture.
Here is a plot of 2009 and 2010 in terms of the average number of IPv4 addresses allocated on a daily basis, across all 5 RIRs. I've used a smoothing function across the allocation data in order to clearly show the trend pattern over the two year period.

Oh master of the awesome graphingness...can you do a corresponding slide for v6 allocation rates, so we can see if the runout is helping inspire additional interest for networks in perhaps investigating v6 more seriously? Thanks! Matt
