Internet to run out of addresses 'within 3 years'

[phatman76]

The internet actually could run out of support if server centers stopped getting built. Unfortunately, it is often the government or large government subsidies that build gigantic server centers at the cost of the tax payer. Stupidly, these servers become obsolete very quickly (what with tech advancing so quickly). The US Government is still the prime stakeholder in the internet basically, considering that if they stopped their support and turned off all their servers, the entire internet would crash.

True in a way but with our technology advancing i don't think we need to worry now that i have thought about our virtual disk capabilities. Sooner or later physical objects can be virtual = endless.
