With the millennium issue, we would assume any year expressed as 2 digits in a database needs 1900 added to it.  There would be some exceptions, but in the vast majority of cases, that solves the problem.  Why is it we can't do something similar with IPv4 addresses swimming in an IPv6 sea?

There is too much money to be had from the internet for a collective effort not to be applied towards fixing this issue.

You shouldn't be.  This is a prime example of sensationalist journalism.  Shit will be worked out in the end.

While a huge majority of corporations aren't anywhere close to being ready to implement IPv6 internally, implementing it on the WAN interfaces isn't a huge deal and that's really all that is needed for now.
