Being more efficient is only the start. In the end is 7 billion people vs less then 4 billion addresses.
Two answers: - Number of people is mostly irrelevant. How many addresses does someone who doesn't have electricity or a telephone need? - An IPv4 market is likely a temporary situation until IPv6 is deployed.
Rhere simply ain't a way around it, face it and deploy IPv6 or somewhere somebody will pay these prices (or more likely start a war).
Deploying IPv6 is not free. Which costs less, buying IPv4 address space (black market or no) or deploying IPv6? Which brings more benefit given the state of the IPv6 Internet? Regards, -drc
