Currently, while each Regional Internet Registry has still some IPv4 addresses to allocate, it is impossible to predict when they will also run out of them.

Also, there are major technical challenges to the deployment of IPv6 in regard to its compatibility to IPv4 and the interaction between IPv4 and IPv6 users.
