It gets interesting if every mobile device should get a /48 as well, then 
we're going to be spending a /14 on this (2^34 is 16G, 48-34=14.

Question, with growth and room for efficient routing, I'd imagine people 
will need to start talking to their RIR to get larger subnets. Will the 
RIRs accept these calculations and approve these sizes?
