Networks
The most obvious beneficiaries are network equipment makers and resellers who have the added clout to tell their customers that IPv4 addresses we relied on to connect to the net just ran out. APNIC, the organisation that hands out such addresses, says about three-quarters of those allocated to Australia were dished out.
The next internet protocol standard, IPv6, is yet to catch on but you can be sure that smart customers and resellers are already auditing networks to future-proof them. For instance, IPv6 Day on June 6 was organised by companies with a stake in the internet to raise awareness of the new standard.
And if you’re going to all that trouble, consider rewiring with cat6 Ethernet or adding wireless 802.11n ports. Smart sparkies are already reporting that many homes and offices are prepping for the National Broadband Network with such upgrades. Consider WAN optimisation if you find network use is saturated.
