nonillion
noun
nō-ˈnil-yən

Ursini’s proposal asks for a mere 2112 addresses
Unless I’m mistaken, that would be 5192296858534827628530496329220096, or a bit more than 5 followed by 33 zeros, which is orders of magnitude different to both definitions. I wonder what this article’s author is on about.
It should have been decillion, yes, but at this scale/context it doesn’t make much of a difference.
44::/16 = 5,192,296,858,534,828,000,000,000,000,000,000 to be exact.

It would be nice to have a dedicated block of IPv6 addresses for ham radio, but why a /16? That’s 4 billion /48 networks.
GIMMIE!
