Report: The End of the Internet Is Near


www.foxnews.com
The end of the Internet is near — and in less than three years, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

The reason? More than 85% of the available addresses have already been allocated and the OECD predicts we will have run out completely by early 2011.

Fat cats protecting their profits, i reckon.

"End of the internet" my bum!

They just don't like the possibility that there is a limit as to how many people they can get the internet to.

p.s; It's always about the spam, isn't it?

The thing about scams like these is that not that many people have the technical know how. So if you tell them you need this chip because if you dont have it then you wont be able to access the internet, guess what they going to do?

The same thing happened in Maryland. Seems like a simple enough fix for me. IP area codes!

It's always about shortage. To money men, shortage is $$$ and excess means less $$$$. It's the same issue as oil (imposed shortage), health care (shortage of doctors), housing (excess or houses), corn (shortage/overuse). ISP's make good money because of a shortage or IP addresses (charging for static/permanant ips). They aren't going to switch until they have to.

There are pluses and minuses to cheap IP addresses. If we have cheap IP address AND ISP's didn't block home web servers, then everyone could run there own website from home instead of turning there life over to google/yahoo. The downside is, when your phone, TV, refrigerator, and everything has it's own static IP, then we loose more privacy.

NetAlter is trying to do away with the concept of Domain Names altogether. For example if you install NetAlter to your computer, it assigns the IPv6 IP address to your NetAlter ID.


For example supposed your name is John, you can create a NetAlter ID that is John. There were be many "John's" in the system but each one will be uniquely identified by their unique ip address (IPv6) at the system level.

So when you share your NetAlter ID with your friends, they add you to their contact list, they Just add "John" but the system will add it as John@youripaddress.com which is unique.

When someone else want to register the name John he or see can do it as his system level ID will be John@hisipaddress.com

So when people search for "John", they will find "John" in NY, "John" in Sydney and "John"in Rome. And if there are many "Johns" in NY, it will show John Age 23 or John Age 46.

so basically it will be the system that will be required to identify an unique John and present the information to you and let you decide if that person is the right person.

This applies to companies as well. This does away with the need to have a domain name and instead creates a new system to identify and locate a person or institution.

This also does away with the concept of present day email address.

But the question remains, are people ready to accept this new system. And is there an alternative.

If there is no alternative as the above article suggests then NetAlter has a good chance.
