| Should be of concern
It should be a big issue. The US is a IP hog. That has been the bone of contention in the push in having the US give up control of key internet interests.
When some countries have to rely on NAT and only have a hand full of IP's to use while single US companies have more IP's then an entire nation. NAT has some limitations and thats why it's such a big push in other countries to use IP6. The think that the US may find out is as other countries build parrell networks and root servers with IP6 the us may find it self being left behind and pushed out of having any control. |

The large company I work for, and it's not a telecom company either, has an entire Class A IP range. On every single PC, printer, switch, router, etc, we use a "real" IP address, not a 192.168.x.x or whatever.
It's a waste. |

the problem with IP6 is that it doesnt support NAT which is a very important need of home networking. without NAT owning multiple PCs requires you to buy an IP for them and even with the trillions of addresses that IP6 allows the cable company isnt going to give them out for free.
