US Shrugs Off World's IP Address Shortage

Clifton Griffin writes "C|Net has an article stating that the U.S. isn't making the push for IPv6 like others are even though the networking appliances and operating systems are ready for it. It goes on to explain that North America has 70% of the Internet address space and that there is a total of 1 billion IPs left, which may sound like a lot but considering we now have Internet-enabled cellphones and VoIP, it really isn't."

Re:What is the benefit

[Master Bait]

Here's the benefit to the US government/corporate bedfellows: every individual gets their own block of addresses. Therefore it is easier to track terrorists and make America a safer place, therefore more votes and patronage for the corporates.
