The "Death of the Internet" is often predicted by the ill-informed,
and provides many a good laugh in the engineering community. While the Internet
may not die any time soon, there are significant changes on the horizon. The
community is concentrating on IPv6 deployment, which may fundamentally change
the way the Internet functions. While IPv6 is important, the ARIN Advisory
Council is concerned that another important issue is being overlooked. Soon
there will be no more IPv4 addresses in the free pool; which will likely change
the way ISP's hook up customers and handle address allocations even more
fundamentally than IPv6. Indeed, it may signal The End Of The World As We Know
It. A round table of Internet experts will answer questions about some of the
fundamental changes that may occur, and may occur faster than many people
expect.
