100,000,000 new IPv4 addresses (from IPv4+) that will be provided to everyone involved including ASN's and ISP's and Operating System vendors and netowrking equipment manufacturers - are worth in total 2 Billion USD , this is much more than the few millions dollars that you wrote.
No, IPv4 addresses attract a high premium price because of their scarcity. Make lots of them available (much like IPv6 does) means that they'll have no market value. It does seem like your proposal is about 'printing' more IPv4 addresses so that IPv4 brokers can make more money out of them. Simon
