Fine, this study is interesting on some fronts.
Mostly interesting in that it predicts the future of ANY addressing scheme we choose to deploy.
Though, "actively used address space" is the key. I'd say this study is largely irrelevant, as there are few who would argue that previously allocated space which is either a) not used, or b) used extremely inefficiently, is the true problem facing ipv4.
exactly. This same problem is facing IPv6 as well (although it won't be as big a problem as soon) I can hear it now (in 2010) We need to start implementing IPv16 NOW! We are almost out of address space! Paul Flores Williams
