I find these examples of scarcity and cost really interesting and wonder if economists do too... IP4 is like a miniature version of the energy crisis — at some point the cost of not switching _to someone_ become greater than those of switching. I'd be interested to know how it works in this situation? Who will be, in actuality, faced with the headache of not enough addresses, and will they be sufficiently powerful to motivate others who don't directly experience the pain to transition?
