[arin-ppml] IPv6 Non-connected networks

I'm also lost by this statement. 
It seems to be lost in IPv4 scarcity ideas to me.

It's not one ISP that customer with $$$$ has to convince, but *all* of
them.   A customer with that much money can certainly afford to buy
globablly routable /48, or a /32 or something.  

End systems with that much money do not appear overnight, so it's not
like they are going to number a billion mobile phones with ULA-C
addresses and then want to route it.  
Such an organization will have money to get the address space they need.

If there are customers with $$$$ money, how come they haven't convinced
ISPs to route 10/8 for them already?

Listen to Michael Dillon, my emphasis:

AND, a reason why having whois-type information available, and for using
     globably unique address is so that when this mistake is discovered, it
     is possible to actually find out whose address space is leaking!
