Dave – For IP if you wish.

A major milestone in the draw down of IPv4 addresses has occurred. APNIC's recent allocations mean that the final five address block now go to each RIR, one to each.
See:

Also, yesterday we at Comcast announced that we've started native dual stack production trials on our DOCSIS network (native IPv4 and IPv6), the first DOCSIS network in North America to do so. The trial will soon expand beyond Colorado and each user receives a /64 allocation of roughly 18 quintillion IPv6 addresses. (A bit of an improvement over one IPv4 address I dare say!)
