Re: Class B Address

Can someone point me to some documents/weblink on how many class B
addresses are still available? Have the registries like RIPE/ARIN/APRIN
exhausted class B addresses already? IPv6 Forum presentations have me
believed class B addresses are exhausted and the situation is especially
bad for country like China. However, after checking with some Chinese I
was told just the opposite. So I am wondering is address scarcity just a
hype?

there is space left in classic A, B, and C numbering regions.  about 50% of
the ipv4 adddress space has been allocated, though less is announced to the
internet.
