I think you need to look at one of the authors - Nokia. Perhaps 2001:490::/32 and 3FFE:8130::/28 are not enough for what they have in mind.
Their 6bone space will go away per 6/6/6. That /32 should provide for 65535 /48's, sites that is, which should be enough for most sites. If it isn't then just request a larger allocation: http://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/tla/ * 1x /20 * 1x /21 * 1x /23 * 59x /24 * 1x /27 * 57x /28 * 2x /30 * 1x /31 * 719x /32 * 12x /35 The /24 + /28's are 6bone space thus theses will go away in ~1,5 years. The /35's should be upgraded to /32's, apparently IPv6 is not interesting enough for these operators though.
Perhaps someone from RIPE should sit down with Nokia (and perhaps all the other cell makers) and find out what they truly want and why these IETF drafts solve their problem. Perhaps just giving them what they want (and think they will need) will make this all go away?
Nokia makes Cellphones, but doesn't provide connectivity (afaik). Telia, the /20 above, does provide connectivity and they got, for them, enough space. If someone needs the space then just describe your problem to one of the RIR's and ask for the allocation. It can be done. Greets, Jeroen
