IPv6 deployment support site
IPv6 deployment is inevitable for many organizations. If you have not started IPv6 implementation yet, this page is a good starting point to gain useful and up to date information.
APNIC's IPv4 free address pool reached at the final /8 in April 2011. See more details from here
Also see APNIC pool of "Available IPv4 addresses at APNIC".
