IPV4 phase 2 is imminent

I notice that they're actually looking to do faster turnaround on phase 2 - less time for giving a block of greater than /16 and less time for the ranges to clear up after they've been given back.

I wonder if this is because those request for ranges larger than /16 now have to go through a team (read:committee)? Does that somehow offset the gained time above?

Does anyone have any good resources for what's projected to happen when scarcity hits? Surely, prices are going to be raised everywhere (Comcast Business, AWS, etc.) due to supply and demand, right? What happens with an IPv4 for comcast business that goes from $10/month to $100/month? Does the business just decide to go with a static ipv6 and a dynamic ipv4? Do then then start hosting their mail with gapps or similar since they can't host their own IPv4?
