The potaroo site by Geoff Huston has been running for over a decade tracking address consumption.
Some history for ARIN consumption predictions: Feb 2014 predicts Mar 2015.
Oct 2013 predicts Jan 2015 [0].
Apr 2013 predicts Apr 2014 [1].
Nov 2012 predicts Sept 2013 [2].
Sep 2012 - RIPE out of addresses.
Apr 2011 - APNIC out of addresses.
Feb 2011 - IANA out of addresses.
Dec 2011 predicts July 2013 [3].
July 2011 predicts Nov 2013 [4].
Prior to this it's simply about IANA calculations, though with some algebra some dates could be extracted.
As well, here's a Cisco article from 2005 describing some of the painful parts of trying to predict the address consumption (where they guess 2016 in 2005): http://www.cisco.com/web/about/ac123/ac147/archived_issues/i...
