According to Google, over 1 million calls were placed from Gmail in just 24 hours of its launch. For comparison, there are somewhat more than 300 million people in the United States. If the average person makes 10 calls per day–research in 2008 put the number at 208 calls per month–that means about one out of every 3,000 calls in the U.S. went through the service on its first day.
The service lets Gmail users make free calls to U.S. and Canada and inexpensive calls to phones in other countries. It uses Gmail as an interface and optionally can integrate with Google Voice to receive calls as well.
That is pretty amazing and just shows how many using or have gmail.

Internet experts warn that we will be running out of Internet address towards the end of 2011. When the Internet was first created, there were only four billion ip address allotted based on a 4 (IPv4) format. With the pontification of smarphones, cell phones, and online gadgets, the number of available ip addresses is running out.
The solution is to switch to a IPv6 format but everyone has to switch to it. There are also new hardware and systems that have to be converted to make the changes. The problems is that not everyone is moving quickly to make the switch. So until every company and businesses makes the change, under the current system, we will run out of ip addresses in the near future.
Don’t worry this does not however concern the domain name sector.
