So the Internet is running out of allocatable IPv4 addresses. Sure, there's a lot of wasted IPs that can be reclaimed, and people who might be interested in selling blocks of them, but demand for IP addresses is still very high with over a million IPs being allocated every day.
Once this happens, short of bartering for the existing lot the Internet needs to move to IPv6, which future-proofs the fuck out of the IP address space with absurd 340282366920938463463374607431768211456 addresses.
The only problem is that a lot of the existing infrastructure isn't ready to route ipv6 yet.
