Internet experts warn that we will be running out of Internet address towards the end of 2011. When the Internet was first created, there were only four billion ip address allotted based on a 4 (IPv4) format. With the pontification of smarphones, cell phones, and online gadgets, the number of available ip addresses is running out.
The solution is to switch to a IPv6 format but everyone has to switch to it. There are also new hardware and systems that have to be converted to make the changes. The problems is that not everyone is moving quickly to make the switch. So until every company and businesses makes the change, under the current system, we will run out of ip addresses in the near future.
Don’t worry this does not however concern the domain name sector.

When it comes time to buy a car, keep your car keys in your pocket. Never hand them over to the dealership. Even if they ask for it so that you can test drive their car. If they ask for your keys, simply go somewhere else.
Asking for your car key is an attempt by the dealership to prevent you from walking away during negotiation. Don’t hang over your must valuable bargaining tool – the power to get up and walk away if you don’t get the deal that you are looking for. If they pressure you or do anything that you don’t like just get up and leave.
You can’t do that if they have your keys.
