'No fee'? You don't pay for electricity, hardware, transit and a
plethora of other things that are actually required to use those
numbers? Can you please explain where that is, as there are some large
companies who are really interested in that kind of free stuff.

If you want 'free address space', try one of the many IPv6 Tunnel
Brokers if you want it for free. They will provide you with a /48 of
address space for you to play with. It won't be PI though, and they are
paying for electricity etc for you.

Another way: 2002:<aabb>:<ccdd>::/48
or actually as you have a /24: 2002:<aabb>:<cc00>::/40

Address space should be distributed based on NEED. When you can JUSTIFY
your need for a /32 or a /48, you have actual users who are using it.
When you have users, you also have somebody/thing that pays the small
fee to the various registries for having the privilege of your own chunk
of address space.

number for free too!)
