Light Within

Making sense of blogging and social media

The internet is rapidly running out of addresses

IP addresses aren't just used for computers; an address gets assigned to every device that accesses the internet (including, for instance, phones and cars). John Curran, president of the American Registry for Internet Numbers, estimates that 94% of the IP addresses currently available have already been allocated. This is largely a problem for service and content providers, but it is one that will have to be resolved within a year.
