Me and my room mates always use ICQ to talk to each other, lots of the time the phone will ring, and u will get a IM saying that the phone is for u. it is a great working system.
I can see us not having a shortage in the next few years, but I can see us moving out into space, onto space stations, and such, maybe even onto differnt planets, maybe not in my life time but maybe my grandkids life time.
and as soon as we start expanding, maybe hooking up an alien world to our network so that we call all communicate, we very well could start running, out, I think that for the moment, at 48bit or 64bit address would have been enough, cause it means that it is still memorable, I dont ever see my remembering all the IPv6 addresses in my flat never mind my buisness, even if I had it written down, their would be so many typos
