      They can just allocate more IPs. The IPv6 range is barely even used.

      Also I imagine that there will be a secondary market for IPv6 at some point.

        I really doubt it. We could give everyone on Earth their own /48 with less than 1% of the IPv6 address space.

          The ranges will become larger over time because "we have it", and companies will get thousands of sections with figuratively unlimited IP addresses in them each.

            Yet.

            Also I imagine that there will be a secondary market for IPv6 at some point.

            Like there already is one for IPv4 addresses?

            I stand by my point:

            No-one will ever need a /48 range.
