Hi
I am new to this list - hope I do not touch a topic that has been discussed different times in here....
I wonder how mobile operators receive IPv6 address allocations from RIPE NCC? The IPv6 policy paper (http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ipv6policy.html) includes 4 conditions: a) be an LIR; b) not be an end site; c) plan to provide IPv6 connectivity to organisations to which it will assign /48s, by advertising that connectivity through its single aggregated address allocation; and d) have a plan for making at least 200 /48 assignments to other organisations within two years.
Mobile operators fulfill a) and b). But since mobile operators will probably give /64 addresses to their users (a single mobile terminal), they don't fulfill c) and d) - if they are not a traditional ISP in parallel.
you can say in this case that a "site" is not a mobile phone but a cell (I'm not sure it's the good word) you connect less than 6500 custommers by cell you affect a /48 per cell and a /64 per mobile phone -- Xavier Henner Ing�nieur Syst�me Nerim -- Fournisseur d'acc�s � Internet URL: <http://www.nerim.net/>
