Actually, it's the entire IPv4 address space squared! IPv4 has 2^32 or about 4 billion addresses. 2^64 is 18.4 quintillion. My /56 subnet is 2^72 or 4.7 sextillion, but I haven't used them all yet. ;-)
Maybe you should have a word with your city council and arrange to address and control each and every street light in the city. And the next city. And the next one. In each direction. For a few thousand miles. Say about 12,000 miles in each direction. Still a bit left over, eh? -- "Key escrow to rule them all; key escrow to find them.
