It's the same idea of exploring the west; everything has been found. Land has to be divided up even more, and prices may rise. There is really only one solution, upgrading to IPv6. 0.25% of the internet supports this, which makes it useless until every computer system in the world supports it. There's also something called network address translation (NAT), which lets different computers use one IP address.
But short story short; the internet is getting more complex. That means raising prices, and it could get a lot more bogged down in the next few years.
