Interstingly enough, there was a recommendation at one point to have DHCP

multiple static-IP-address-on-paper vendors to allow the market to produce
the most efficient paper static address producers. A fraction of the
$3/address would then go into an allocation fund. This allocation fund
(until congress gets involved) would be then be used to lower the cost of
cookies at NANOG.
