Analysts are decrying the death of the Internet, and you know what? No one really seems to be doing anything about it.

As we hurtle toward the Internet's imminent destruction at the hands of IPv4's limited selection of IP addresses by the estimated date of 2011, it seems that no one's really embracing iPv6 the way they ought to.

A study conducted by Arbor Networks between June 2007 and 2008 conluded that iPv6 received an estimated 0.0026 percent of its predecessor.

"I don't think anyone thinks that there is a migration happening," Arbor engineer Scott Iekel-Johnson told PC Mag. "There doesn't seem to be a pickup in usage across any significant portion [of the area analyzed.]."

"The end of the IPv4 space is coming," he added. "It's not like oil; we're not going to suddenly find another deposit that's going to carry us through for another few years. We really are going to run out."
