Having read Richard's paper carefully before it was even presented, I'd like to observe that not everybody agrees with it. Nor with Luigi's work for that matter. And with all due respect, neither Richard nor Luigi are economists. Neither is Geoff Huston, despite his very interesting economic analysis of IPv6 deployment incentives presented at APRICOT this March. (http://www.potaroo.net/presentations/2010-03-02-ipv6-transition.pdf) Nevertheless, I'd be interested to see Geoff's approach applied to the RRG space. However, to get anything really trustworthy, we'd need to get a few real economists interested.
