They said that just before CIDR happened, too.

>From the routing-table summary posted to the NANOG list this morning:

Number of addresses announced to Internet:                   1348239976
     Equivalent to 80 /8s, 92 /16s and 130 /24s
     Percentage of available address space announced:               36.4
     Percentage of allocated address space announced:               58.8
     Percentage of available address space allocated:               61.9

So 40% isn't even *allocated* yet (saying that we're probably burning /8's
faster than needed, but only 36% of the available space is actually routed.

Sounds to me like we've got more time than 52 months, if we start doing
stuff now to increase the usage efficiencies....
