Unability to getting IPv4 from RIPE doesn't mean unability to get IPv4 conectivity.
Nor (some) IPv4 addresses, which can be obtained from "the market".
But it push the new player to start with IPv6 and get the v4 as a service.
Please go back and read why "You must deploy IPv6 in order to receive IPv4" (unfortunately) didn't stick...
It would make v4 as something extra what you are forced to pay extra, perfect mindset to abadon it eventually.
Nice plan, but there is just a very tiny detail... 75%-80% of the Internet is IPv4-only.
So once again, a faster we run out of IPv4 - a better.
We have "run out of IPv4" (in a context of Internet's growth) since some years now... but people are still able to use it, and a lot of people/companies are NOT deploying IPv6 because they don't *need* it today. RIPE NCC's available IPv4 pool will not be empty everytime (addresses are de-registered by lack of payment, closures, ...), so a complete and *permanent* "run out of IPv4" is highly unlikely.
