I think the risk of ISPs handing out /64s is very small. Actually I expect most of the consumer ISPs (and they are the ones with the large number of customers) to hand out /128s. If they started giving networks (and not just single Addresses) to their customers their complete set of "business products" would no longer exist. I doubt the techies are strong enough to fight this through against product management. Nils
