RIPE's FAQ on IPv4 address exhaustion:
http://www.ripe.net/info/faq/IPv6-deployment.html
A little estimation tool, with commentary:

The current Bogon list:
http://www.cymru.com/Documents/bogon-bn.html
Bogons are IP address ranges that should not be
routed over the Net - they're either unallocated,
private, or special use. In this context, they
give an idea of the free address ranges... once
you've removed 10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16, etc.
