There is enough adress space for that. DSL lines will be used for home networks, and home networks are one of the reasons for the /48.
Sure, if you go ask IANA for more (considerably more).
I'd like to see the faces of RIR hostmasters when a few DSL/dialup etc. ISP's hand in address applications for their whole DSL/dialup service line..
I suspect they wouldn't even blink and just hit the "approve" button. It is does not appear realistic to expect ISPs to "interview" each customer and ask them whether they intend to subnet or not.
I suspect they _would_ blink as the first thing they'd have to do is ask for more space: /23 is the same amount as is currently assigned to e.g. RIPE _altogether_. -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems.
