Not quite yet. There are still some countries which do not allow for any proselyting (not even in normal conversation with friends).

Yes. Now it's being preached by not only missionaries who still go to remote places, but also through the means of satellite, radio and even cell phones. China has allowed satellite in their country and there are many reports of conversions happening over there. Look at the countries that were behind the Iron curtain, now they are open and receiving the gospel. All over the world the gospel is now being preached through the advances that have been made in communications.

Are you nuts? Or, do you just not know what Jesus was referring to in Mark 16:15?
The good news, Gospel actually means "good message" , has already been preached all over the world.
Doesn't anyone read the Bible anymore? Do we all just listen to Bubba Preachers and then regurgitate their vomit onto this chat group.
Are you all idiots, or are you simply parrotting something you heard from a religious leader trying to build and grow his empire?
If you are reading this, and you don't think you are an idiot, then read Mark 16:15 and most importantly, discern what would have been considered the "Good news" to all the people in the world at that time compared to what they thought before Jesus came to Earth, preached what?, and then rose from the grave.
If you are not an idiot, e mail me your answer to the question: What was the Gospel (good news) Jesus mentioned in Mark 16:15
Clue: Read of all Jesus' messages and instructions and then guess what he could have meant by "His good message".
Does Heaven ring a bell? What was the view of Heaven before Jesus came to Earth, was it possible? How to get there?
What did Jesus specifically say about what you need to do for God to forgive you?
Clue, Jesus never said look at my body, my body is your quick fix ticket to Heaven. Jesus constantly asked you not look at him, but to listen to his message.
Jesus' message is what was important to Him. And, just what is that message. Harmony is harmony. Disharmony is the only sin against God. The whole world has been exposed to that through all the religions. However, the religious leaders have advocated violence from time to time in order to build and grow their selfish empires.
Jesus clearly told us how to get to Heaven, and other religious books have told their respective groups the same message as to how to qualify as a harmony-loving person.
Jesus told us, "Forgive others for their mistakes. If you do not forgive others, then your father in Heaven will not forgive you.
Pretty tough test, eh?
But is the only way you are going to qualify as a harmony-loving person.
(Actually, in the original greek text "Gospel" meant good message not good news. (Good news was added in order to use Paul's mumbo jumbo way of making it easy to join his Church)

When it has been preached sufficiently enough for God's requirements, then Armegeddon will begin, so, no, not yet. But soon---very soon.

Why did you ask this twice. Don't you realize that you cost yourself 10 points.
Oh, and no, I don't believe it has.
