ars technica has an article where ARIN is encouraging a migration to IPv6. The article in part states;

According to ARIN’s statistics, 19 percent of the IPv4 address space is still available, with 13 percent unavailable and 68 percent “allocated.” The group is reluctant to make predictions on when the supply of IPv4 addresses will run out, choosing instead to watch distribution and consumption trends so that others can do the predicting. “Those forecasts have some variation, but it is clear that this could be an issue as soon as 2010,” said the ARIN spokesperson.
