If you really want to jump start n^2, find a way to convince the RIR's to require demonstration of IPv6 deployment for subsequent (non initial) IPv4 allocations.
I fear that we overlook a point you make here: "RIRs require demonstration". I suppose that if you had to desmonstrate you need a mobile or a phone number, the expansion of the telephone network and then of mobiles would have been slower.
Has someone compared the IPv6, IPv4, telephone and mobile number/address allocation figures? It takes me 10 minutes in a supermarket to get an operational mobile. The only thing it misses nowaday is an IP address. May be you will recall that in 2000 the telephone industry had asked for 2 IP blocks and ICANN responded (in July/Aug?) they could use the "virtual NAT" which is HTTP.1.1.
