Moore's law is still holding. Twice as many transistors will be able to fit on a single chip 18 months from now.
On the other hand, the world population growth rate is well under 1% per year (according to wikipedia.)
Sound like the routing table problem will solve itself pretty quickly, without us doing a thing.

Nope. Posted Jan 28, 2011 12:20 UTC (Fri) by khim (subscriber, #9252) [Link] Routing table is supposed to handle devices, not people. Population is not growing, yet number of devices is growing exponentially. You have computers, mobile phones, power meters and other gadgets connected to the internet. Often they use totally different networks. Heck: there are more mobile phones users then there are IPv4 addresses! So no, Moore's law will not save us.
