Here's a Geoff Houston report from 2005:
https://www.arin.net/participate/meetings/reports/ARIN_XVI/PDF/wednesday/huston_ipv4_roundtable.pdf

I point to page 8, and the prediction "RIR Pool Exhaustion, 4 June
2013".

Those of us who paid attention are well prepared.

tl;dr: Real statistical models properly executed in 2005 were remarkably
       close to the reality 8 years later.
