Assuming half of your customers need a /32, you will have to create 25000 interfaces on your router(s) and need a /15 to accomodate this. I'm quite sure you cannot justify this, but that is my personal opinion.
While at Demon, we worked very hard to ensure that the assignment policies at RIPE did not enforce business decisions on companies - that is the job of the marketplace in a 'capitalist' world. It is not a case of justifying the >purpose< of the assignment, all you have to do is justify the quantities of address space you require, and show that you have explored alternatives but that your business model requires a particular usage.
