Fine, this study is interesting on some fronts.

Mostly interesting in that it predicts the future of ANY addressing scheme
we choose to deploy.

Though,
"actively used
address space" is the key.  I'd say this study is largely
irrelevant, as
there are few who would argue that previously allocated space which is
either a) not used, or b) used extremely inefficiently, is the true
problem facing ipv4.

exactly. This same problem is facing IPv6 as well (although it won't be as
big a problem as soon)

I can hear it now (in 2010) We need to start implementing IPv16 NOW! We are
almost out of address space!
