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.
