Microsoft has offered $7.5m (£4.7m) for 666,624 IPv4 addresses previously owned by Nortel. Around 80 companies were given the opportunity to bid on the the old addresses but Microsoft’s bid was highest.

at least we are moving towards the future. when everyone has 10 internet connected devices with a family of 5 thats 50 different addresses for that household alone. or at least thats how my professor explained it.

The real issue is once you have ran out of public addresses you have only if my calculations are correct 65,504 for a Class C address per public address.
Class B 16,777,168 address on 1 public address and so on
Again not 100% on my calculations
