ipv4 and ipv6 allocations

I was speaking with a virtual hosting partner on ipv4 allocations vrs ipv6 allocations.

The following  link is a good summary of just how badly ipv4 was allocated and due to  continent allocations http://subnettingpractice.com/ip_allocation.html

In brief ;  the numbers of  ipv4 address space was divided very unequal between Africa , Asia and Latin Americas.

With ipv6 allocations the prefixes are divided roughly equally between addressing Internet Registries

 The following  pie charts show these allocation blocks for the 5 registries







 pretty much balanced


Ipv4 is a different story;
