The internet is becoming more and more important to more and more  
people. So it's expected that more and more people will multihome, so  
there will be more PI. The amount of trouble this causes depends on  
how fast it happens.

It would help... Have a look at the following and tell me what you  
think:

I don't think /48 is the best choice for this as it's the same prefix  
length as what many PA customers will get, but the problems caused by  
PI won't be prevented or solved by choosing a differentg prefix length.
