by making the address space larger I allow all the entities that have IP addresses to have a lot more.

yes, my plan favors the established ISPs who have IP addresses as each IP address they currently have becomes a class A network (or larger), but in practice you have to get the established ISPs agreement anyway before you can use any IP addresses (they have to agree to peer with you and accept your advertisement), so I don't see this as a major problem
