Mobile-wise, we're slowly settling into iOS, Android and 
Windows Mobile (only a few folks are running the Lumia).

Some folk running Mac are still on pre-Lion, but those will 
quickly be moved to Mountain Lion, at least, before we roll 
out.

Our corporate WAN runs inside an l3vpn (VPNv4). By the time 
we get this going, we shall also be deploying 6VPE.

Well, we own the backbone, so every office will be assigned 
a /56.

But yes, ISP's should be handing out either /48's or /56's 
to customers. Although, if you're interested, "draft-ietf-
v6ops-64share-07" talks about how a /64 sent to a tethered 
mobile phone can be extended to a LAN behind the phone.
