No more; IPv4 addresses have mostly expired, the world did not end, and these 
days not only people are not adopting IPv6 but they are gearing towards GCN 
instead.

According to Wikipedia, "GCN" may refer to:
        • Nintendo GameCube, a video game console
        • Gamma Ray Burst Coordinates Network, a system by which Gamma-Ray 
Burst information is relayed from the first responding observatory to the rest 
of the GRB community
        • Genesis Communications Network
        • Grand Canyon National Park Airport, according to the International 
Air Transport Association airport code
        • Global Christian Network, a religious broadcaster on AMC4 satellite 
television, a station in New York City and EICB TV across the US
        • Gay Christian Network, nonprofit organization and its associated 
social networking site
        • Gay Community News (Dublin), Ireland's longest running gay newspaper, 
published since 1988 by the National Lesbian and Gay Federation
        • Gay Community News (Boston), a weekly journal published in Boston 
from 1973 to 1992
        • Graphics Core Next Gen, AMD's GPU architecture.

Which of these are you referring to? :-)
