The question really at hand: what happens when you need to host a new=20=pile of servers, need/can-justify a /24, and your hosting provider=20 quotes you $2560/month just for the IP space (at $10/IP)?You probably laugh and go to some other provider or BYOA from a broker.
That works until all the hosting providers are charging similar rates, and even a decade ago I saw providers who would charge you for bringing your own space.
=20 That'd be an incentive to look seriously at IPv6.... I *think*.I hope so, but most likely people will continue to do the lazy thing as = long as they can get away with it.Switching hosting providers will probably become a popular game for=20 the early depletion era, as providers attempt to rob each other of customers. That's probably a losing game in the long run.Let=E2=80=99s hope (that it=E2=80=99s a losing game).
Just because something is a losing game doesn't mean people won't play that game. ...
