Hi Owen,

If I understand correctly, the /32, /48 and /64 size recommendations
were originally discussed on public, now-archived IETF mailing lists.
At the time, dynamic dialups were the equivalent of what we today
consider residential customers (as opposed to business and hobbyist
end sites). Have you found some citations among those discussions
which clarify that /48 was intended to apply to all ISP customers
explicitly including individual end users of the ISP, not just network
clients of the ISP.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
