    <p>Years ago I looked at the economics of IPv4 address supply. <a
        href="http://www.wleecoyote.com/documents/IPv4-supply-analysis.pdf">http://www.wleecoyote.com/documents/IPv4-supply-analysis.pdf</a></p>
    <p>I was wrong in my predictions about timing: I concluded that the
      market would be exhausted of addresses much sooner because I
      didn't account for people hoarding before run out. I knew it, but
      I couldn't figure out how to analyze it.</p>
    <p>I said that there might be about 520 million IPv4 addresses that
      were under utilized (read the paper for my reasoning). About 150
      million addresses have been traded.[1]</p>
    <p>There are 1.2 billion people in Africa[2]. Out of four /8s [3],
      roughly 65 million addresses, Afrinic has .3 /8 remaining,[4] less
      than 5 million addresses. Only 36% of Africans have Internet[5],
      making 768 million Africans still to be connected.</p>
    <p>Africa, as a region, has both the lowest deployment of IPv6 and
      the most people left to connect. Even at a NAT ratio of 10 users
      to 1 IPv4 address, Africa is still short by 100 million users, or
      if people have more than one device, several times that number.</p>
    <p>By comparison, 4.4 billion users globally have Internet[6], out
      of 7.7 billion. I make that as 2.5 billion non-Africans needing
      Internet addresses.</p>
    <p>So 768 million Africans to be connected have less than 5 million
      addresses, plus some fraction of 64 million underutilized
      addresses that can be traded within the region. 0.006 addresses
      per person.<br>
    </p>
    <p>2.5 billion non-Africans to be connected have 370 million
      underutilized addresses to trade. 0.148 addresses per person.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Based on scarcity, Africa has the greater need for addresses.
      Economists describe markets as a way to distribute resources
      according to their best and highest use. Since that's hard to
      quantify, they use money as a metric for best and highest use.
      Africa has the greatest need, and addresses there would serve
      better (potentially more people) than elsewhere. <br>
    </p>
    <p>If the only supply is within the region, the prices will be much
      higher than outside the region. If in a year IPv4 addresses are
      US$30 each, they could be US$50 each in Africa, which makes them
      unaffordable for many companies. Prices would be the same
      everywhere if all regions allowed inter-RIR transfers. But there
      still isn't enough supply.</p>
    <p>A company can save money on IPv4 addresses and CGN by deploying
      IPv6. But it's too late to deploy IPv6 before Afrinic runs out of
      addresses. Addresses will run out, and the market will not be able
      to satisfy the need for addresses. ISPs and mobile carriers
      everywhere in Africa will have to deploy CGN, and at higher
      density than elsewhere in the world. The cost for businesses to
      connect will be much higher, since they need inbound access and
      therefore unique IPv4 addresses. African Internet deployment will
      stall, all because IPv6 has not been deployed and there is no way
      to get more IPv4 addresses.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Are those the kind of numbers you were looking for?</p>
