If RIPE runs out of IPv4 sooner it will not help switching to v6 faster.
It only means that the new entrants will have to buy the resources from
the market at prices which will be obviously higher.

Iran is a good example, as a country can be considered a relatively new
entrant. What has happened over there ? 0.05% IPv6 adoption rate
according to google stats and Iran is the #1 importing country of IPv4
resources.

I don't understand why there's still this confusion that if RIPE's pool
will be empty, many think there will be no more IPv4 available and
everyone will go the next day to IPv6. It's totally wrong.
