  14. Myth 1: We are running out of Addresses • Information Services on IPv4 http://www.ripe.net/info/info-services/ipv4/ • Regional Internet Registries facilitate • Considerable slowing of address consumption rate • Dramatic increase in efficiency of usage • Extrapolating current trends points to “Expiry Date” in between 2020 and 2040.

  15. Myth 1a: Some Countries cannot get Addresses • Addresses are held in a global pool of unallocated resources • Anybody, Anytime will receive addresses based on “demonstrated need”. • Ensuring longevity of resource pool while ensuring fair distribution

  16. “China vs MIT” IPv6 IPv4 millions of addresses

  17. Myth 2:ICANN Makes Addressing Policies ICANN does not feature in the Policy Development Process

  18. Myth 3: US controlsRoot Nameservers More than 80 and the number is growing

  19. Myths 4: National address administration will make the world a better place • Internet resources have no attribute that links them to geography • National reserves would be wasteful and further depletion • Detrimental to Internet stability • Proliferation of routing information • NRO Response to ITU Memorandum • http://www.ripe.net/info/internet-management/
