Nice analysis, by the way...  One comment, see below.

Hmm.  Could you expand on this part of the calculation?   I know
lots of backbones operating in the default-free zone, and can take
an estimate at number of routers each, but I'm not certain that
the product gets us to 200000 routers.  Also, there are often IGP
routers which don't participate in global routing but have the entry
purely for internal traffic engineering...  Is it fair to reflect the cost
of upgrading such routers onto the cost for a global routing entry?
