Four /8s were just allocated from the central, IANA IPv4 pool. (5 and 37 to the European registrar, and 23 and 100 to the North American registrar). Less than 3% of the IPv4 address pool remains.

The central IPv4 pool will be gone before the snow melts here in central Pennsylvania. Its likely that the Asia-Pacific registrar will get another large allocation early next year, and that will be the end of it. Please, start deploying IPv6 now if you haven't already.

This is fantastic! As expected, not all of the CNN's content loads over IPv6 (videos, and parts of the CDN still are v4-only), but this is a big step forward.
