It's definitely enough IP addresses for a new internet that's not composed of a bunch of SHIT servers. 175 million IPv4 addresses more than serves all the needed infrastructural servers and people can still use DHCP and overlap to use the others. Remember, 175 million is over 1/2 of the population count in the US and it's going to be used for everyone, it's mainly going to be used to provide rock solid infrastructural services that then other people with existing IPv4 addressing will use to access. The key is to have a major block of IP addresses that these bastard demons on the left cannot terminate on people offering good services and new functionality.
Multiple decades. :)
Are you aware of the "Internet 2" research that's gone on for quite some time?
Additionally, this could actually be used to create a new internet. The key is to simply ensure that any critical infrastructure remains intact for routing purposes and then existing infrastructure can be used. This is a new "internet" - not "The Internet" that already exists. A mesh network would actually be ideal that has smart failover and I have worked with some companies working in this space to build a new resilient solution that is able to tolerate bad actors such as Google and other large communist-based entities (both non-profit and for-profit orgs).
But yeah, I think we're on roughly the same page here.
