Right, so ARIN will give you a /32 when you ask for IPv6 addresses.

So what are you going to do with all those extra /48s that you are
hoarding? There is no shortage of IPv6 addresses and since you are a
small ISP, it is hard to imagine you running out of /48s anytime soon.
So please tell us why you plan to hoard most of your allocation unused?

And don't forget to explain how a SMALL ISP can justify allocating 200
/48 assignments to other organizations within 5 years when that small
ISP actually plans to allocate a /120 to most customers. Or will you lie
to ARIN's hostmasters.
