Web experts have warned the world will run out of web addresses in the next two years if a new naming protocol is not formalised.
The current naming protocol, IPv4, will need to move to the new regime, IPv6.
The Telegraph has quoted Sam Pickles, lead engineer at F5 Networks, as saying the world will be down to our last tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of web addresses by the end of next year if more companies don't migrate to the new platform.
He said new companies trying to establish a presence on the internet will have no option but to adopt the IPv6 address format.
The IPv6 uses 128-bit web numbers which can create billions of possible new web addresses.  Email this story to a friend
