2010-04-01 The upcoming shortage of IPv4 addresses ... 12 years ago

The upcoming shortage of IPv4 addresses and IPv6 seems to be a nice subject for some of the April-Fools items found today:

AAISP first ISP to drop IPv4 Andrews & Arnold Ltd., UK ISP
ICANN schaltet Rootserver ab - Alle IP-Adressen besetzt (German) where they will temporarily switch back to VideoText on pre-Internet computers.
Internet addresses to void in 30 days - ComputerWeekly
There is a serious side: Within two years, shortage of IPv4 space will be for real.
