Wow, it is crazy to me that a company(not a network operator even) can get such a huge address space. Especially they have so many /19, /24 prefixes already. AFAIK, a TOP 3 Network operator serving more than 1B subscribers may only have a /18 or /17 IPv6 prefix. What kind of company can have more customers then 1B? Interesting.
