tl;dr: ARIN predicted to run out of IP space to allocate in August this year.

Are you ready?

I have sadly witnessed a growing number of businesses with /24s moving
to colocation/aws networks and not giving up their unused network
space. I assume this will come into play soon. I have already read the
news of blackmarket sales of network allocations in Europe.

One of the immediate results of RIPE NCC exhaustion was that ISPs
and colo now ask for monthly IPv4 space rental to end users, starting 
with 1 EUR/IPv4 address per month, trend is up.
