Internet IPv4 Exhaustion Counter Hits Zero

A short video recognizing the depletion of IPv4 addresses. It was only 20 years ago this year that the first Web server & Browser were demonstrated by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN. The Regional Internet Repositories have only a few months left before they effectively exhaust their supply.
Is this a case of IPv4 is dead, long rule IPv6?

I honestly don’t know the answer to this question, but some of the providers have been very active. Check Comcast for example. I do believe that this year, you will begin to see a number of announcements with regards to improved IPv6 service. Most of the carriers are very much aware of the issues and are getting themselves up to speed. To get specifics you should check with your local ISPs on the state of their IPv6 offering.

These online counters are not 100% accurate, best estimate only.

How soon will providers update to IPv6? I've been following this since it came to light yesterday, and my counter says we still have about a day.... How will we know if Frontier, or in my case, Time Warner, bumps us up to IPv6? I saw it in my network settings as "limited".... How long do you think until they provide it to us?
