That is "just" IPv4. IPv6 has been around for ages with its 128 bit address space. With 6 billion people on the planet and the way IPv6 addresses are allocated that is of the order of 10^27 addresses per person.

There has simply been no need to switch until now. Businesses using NAT have delayed the fateful day by years.

Most ISPs don't provide IPv6 to home users, and few consumer grade routers support IPv6. Cisco 8xx routers do. There are probably a few others, but I haven't been looking for long.
