if there aren't *ANY* 2nd market IPv4 brokers operating in the ARIN
region *AT ALL*.

Which AFAIK is not the case.

So fulfilling IPv4 address space needs in the North American region
should be, give or take, as cheap or expensive, as easy or complicated
as anywhere else.

So this effect might only be very loosely coupled at best.

How about assuming that the US, North America in general, is simply
again leading the pack in eventually deploying a not-so-new-any-longer
technology? They have done this already in the past, so I have heart. ;-)

Best,
