According to current RIPE policy, you assign each one of these DSL or cable modem customers with a /48. Mobile phones are different and should probably get a /64 since their internal networks will not have additional interfaces added.
That is a misconception. If I want to go online with my laptop through my mobile phone's cellular link, I need a prefix between the laptop and the phone and then something between the phone and the ISP. So that could be two separate /64s or some other setup, but just an address for the phone doesn't cut it.
