Analysis
Also read: RIPE 90 closes with calls for ICP-2 update improvements and number portability Timokhin: The situation depends a lot on the company, the field they are in, and very much on the country and region where they operate. Efficient usage of the IP addresses companies already possess is the most difficult and pressing issue. For hosting companies and data centres, the most important and pressing issue is the efficient usage of the IP addresses they already have. In countries like Germany and the United States, it is easier for companies to acquire new addresses, so they do not face the same scarcity problems. But in countries considered ultra high risk, like the Russian Federation, Iran and sometimes even China, it is much harder for companies to get new IP space.
