Good luck with your proposed changes for we American players, but I consider myself 100% a pessimist, and for very good reason. Yes, some States have worked it out, but I don't see many others trying to jump on board eagerly - my State being one of them. Anyone who thinks regulated poker is returning to America is living in a fantasy world. I have little to no hope the corrupt USA will ever sort its mess out. However, in the five or so years since they passed the law, none of the brick and mortars have given ANY indication they have plans to partner up with an online poker provider to spread online games.
Here in my State - Massachusetts - our State legislature finally legalized brick and mortar casinos, and they awarded 3 such licenses.
Right away this eliminates at least half of the USA States, the half (or perhaps more than half) with no brick and mortars. The rule is, any online poker site must 'partner' with a real brick and mortar casino before being allowed to spread any games.
