Phase 4 means that just /8 IPv4 addresses are still available.
ARIN entered phase 4 after allocating a /10 to AKAMAI yesterday. Phase
4 means that just /8 IPv4 addresses are still available. Please see https://www.arin.net/resources/request/ipv4_countdown.html
Phase 4 means that just /8 IPv4 addresses are still available.
Surely you mean that only *one* /8 address space is available?
After all, that's more than 16 million addresses, right?
And still, according to an article in a Swedish computer magazine,
less than 4% of all the ISPs in the world has gone full IPv6.
So much for letting the "market" sort it all out...

Wow, that is a lot sooner than expected, considering that Geoff Huston estimated this to happen on 8 april 2015: http://www.potaroo.net/tools/ipv4/
Notes:
"Exhaustion" is defined here as the time when the pool of available addresses in each RIR reaches the threshold of no more general use allocations of IPv4 addresses. As ARIN have already reserved a /10 for
the transition to Ipv6 policy, the low point for ARIN is a completely depleted general use pool. For AFRINIC and LACNIC it the threshold is a total of a /11 remaining in their available address pool. This
calculation also takes into account the redistribution of the IANA
Global Address pool, and in the simulation of exhaustion these addresses
are redistributed to the RIRs according to the policy.
