Perhaps I’m overly cynical, but other than more players and _way_ more money, the dynamics of [limited resource, 
unlimited demand] don’t appear to have changed significantly from the first time around. However, I suspect the real 
roadblock you’ll face in policy discussions (aside from the folks who make their money leasing IPv4 addresses) is the 
argument that efforts to ration and thereby extend the life of IPv4 will continue to distort the market and impede the 
only useful signal to network operators regarding the costs of remaining with IPv4 compared to supporting IPv6.  Good 
luck!
