I don't like that they use misleading information to exaggerate the problems of the current Internet:

> One such limitation is the IPv4 protocol. With a 32 bit IP Address, it is only inevitable that the address pool will be exhausted (as it almost has) as the internet keeps on expanding.

This is true, but they completely ignore the advance of IPv6.

In order for IPv6 to ever become reality, a massive upgrade of infrastructure is required. So far ISPs have been reluctant to make the move. Whether or not ipv6 will ever see the light of day is arguable. We think not.
