makes more sense to hand out /48s imho. theres only a mere 65k /48s per /32 (or something like that), though.
A /32 is the minimum allocation to a ISP. If you have more customers or will have more customers request a bigger block from the RIRs.

Has anyone successfully gotten a RIR to assign anything bigger than a /32? I seem to recall in recent history someone tried to obtain a /31 through ARIN and got smacked down. Even if you're assigning a /56 to every end user, that's still on the order of 16 million allocations. I can't imagine anyone but the truly behemoth access network operators being able to justify a larger allocation with a straight face.
