Never doubt the ability of certain Asian countries to burn through IP space at blistering speed when their citizens can't even directly access the internet without going through a massive firewall and proxy system. :)
Those cases are probably best handled as a /16 delegation from a regional RIR to a national RIR or similar. And they can just ULA themselves a /16 for inside the country if they really feel the need ;) And yes, I know a single /24 won't quite cover all of Comcast's customers if they give them all a /48. They're welcome to prove me wrong by turning up enough customers on IPv6 to need a second /24. ;)
