#john curran, CEO of the American Registry for Internet Numbers (#arin), told attendees at the Campus Technology conference in Boston on Wednesday that the IP address authority’s pool of #ipv4 addresses has dwindled to 90,000 and will be exhausted in about two weeks.
“This is a pretty dramatic issue,” says Curran, who founded ARIN in 1997 and was once CTO of Internet pioneer #bbn.
Curran’s #revelation came during a talk during which he urged IT pros from educational institutions to upgrade their public facing websites to IPv6 as soon as possible.
