Few companies are ready to migrate but few are not interested in migrating from current to future technology. Commission told only 17% of European player migrated to new technology . IPv4 uses 32 bit address scheme which enable web to support around 4.3 billion web address but due to increasing of sites we may switch to new regime IPv6 which uses 128 bit address scheme creating billions of possible new web addresses.
