a revised IAB/IESG document

[Bob Hinden]

I agree that referencing the real document is good.  I did find several 
places on the site with the 10B in 2050 data:

   http://www.undp.org/popin/wdtrends/chart/3.pdf
   http://www.undp.org/popin/wdtrends/p98/p98cht2.htm

I also found an interesting table of Countries with a population of over 
100 million in 1950, 1998 and 2050:

The interesting thing that the majority of these countries don't have any 
significant IP address allocations today.
