 AL>> Comcast, at least in my area, does a /56 for business customers, and
 AL>> a /64 for residential customers.

 MR> Cheapskates :)

   Or The History Repeats itself.

   Didn't "they" award some major US companies and such an entire IPv4 /16 address range back then, or do I remember incorrectly?

   Now, a /56 IPv6 range is far from enough to give every citizen on this planet it's individual IPv6 range. And a /64 range can only cover half of the Earth's population. So something like a /96 individually and a /80 to each of the providers would probably be more realistic, no?
