No, there's IPv6, but it's hard to say they're "starting" to because the standard was ratified 19 years ago, and it's technically been usable since 2008, but the amount of traffic on the Internet that actually uses IPv6 is... I don't have exact figures but it appears to be less than 10%. Verizon didn't support it until 2009, T-Mobile didn't support it until 2012, and most home routers don't use it by default even if they could theoretically be configured for it. Only ~13% of websites can handle IPv6 traffic.

It's just depressing how slow this is moving.
