### Mobile Proxy Network (Dedicated Page: /mobile-proxy)
IPv4 Depot's Mobile Proxy Network provides access to real mobile IP addresses from major cellular carriers including T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, and 50+ global carriers.

Features include automatic IP rotation, geo-targeting by city and carrier, 99.9% uptime SLA, and unlimited bandwidth. Use cases include market research, ad verification, competitive intelligence, social media management, price monitoring, and SEO auditing.

## IPv4 Market Context

The IPv4 address market emerged after IANA exhausted the global IPv4 pool in 2011. IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses providing approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses. With billions of devices connected to the internet, new allocations from Regional Internet Registries are no longer possible, making the secondary market the only source for additional IPv4 space. Current market pricing ranges from $14-35 per IP address depending on block size, registry region, and block cleanliness. While IPv6 adoption is growing (approximately 40% of global traffic as of 2025), the majority of internet infrastructure still relies on IPv4 connectivity, ensuring continued demand for IPv4 address space.

## Transfer Process

1. Acquisition Request: Contact IPv4 Depot with desired block size and ARIN pre-approval ticket number
2. Contract & Agreement: Inventory matching, sales contract with IP range, pricing, and escrow details
3. Ownership Transfer: Both parties open transfer tickets with the Regional Internet Registry
4. Transaction Complete: WHOIS records updated, funds released from escrow
