I can easily see people moving through those IPs in short order if you have a datacenter or other deployment you are 
working on.  I've heard stories from some of the popular sites about how they have consumed all the 'private' space for 
their internal-side servers/infrastructure so started to go after public IPs (in addition to IPv6) to workaround the 
problem.

AT&T hasn't seen the wireline subscriber growth, but I'm sure their wireless side, datacenter, and other needs are 
driving growth.
