This video charts the growth of the Internet by producing a map of which ranges of IP addresses have been allocated in time, from 1982 to July 2010.

The map is divided into a grid of 16x16 squares, each of which is an /8 block of IPv4 addresses, or approximately 16.7 million addresses.

The map format is inspired by the xkcd map of the same from 2006: http://xkcd.com/195/

The data used to generate the map was taken from Geoff Huston's "IPv4 Address Report" at http://www.potaroo.net/tools/ipv4/index.html
More specifically, the "Listing of the IPv4 space with status and dates" link.

The Hilbert curve coordinates for mapping an IP address to space were created using Luis Alejandro Gonzalez Miranda's code from http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?t=866
