Today, yes. GSM/UMTS/LTE devices today only support local /64 from the mobile network, AFAIK... and I have seen implementations of ND Proxy. I have not seen anything aside from providing one network provided IPv4 address per mobile device (then the mobile will do its own NAT44 of that address)... but i may just be missing something there. My infrastructure is only setup to provide 1 IPv4 address and/or 1 /64 of IPv6. Some future spec's from 3GPP will allow for DHCPv6-PD, but that is forthcoming standards work and implementations.
