Out of IPv4 Addresses in Five Years?

A recent report by Cisco networking guru Tony Hain predicts the end of IPv4 address space in about 2010, just five years from now. This is in contrast to the prior prediction of 2022 made by the Asian Pacific Network Information Center (APNIC). Why the suddenly sooner deadline? According to A Pragmatic Report on IPv4 Address Space Consumption, the APNIC report does not take into account the temporary growth slowdown of IP address allocations from 2000 to 2003 due to the dot-com crash. Since 2003, IP address allocations have accelerated dramatically.
