No, as prices increase, the economic justification of switching to IPv6 increases. Businesses will watch the inflation and when their IPv4 bill gets high enough, they'll pay someone to fix their systems.
Not only will no shortage occur, but the upgrades will be performed for the least cost possible. This is the kind of resource allocation problem that markets solve optimally.
- yyyk 7y agoI was referring to 'shortage' as 'sufficient scarcity so as to make people switch to IPv6'. However, you're completely correct given the literal meaning of 'shortage' (hence upvote). There won't be a situation where a business will not put up a site due to lack of IPs, they'll switch if/when they have to.
