Yes, and each one already has its own RA.

Compared to AAA based on what grounds?

So what entity in the network decides what prefix to assign to a given user
when he sets up, say, the Internet PDN?

 In the above (cellular oriented) example, I am not so sure. In cellular

The RADIUS attribute for it already exists, it's called Framed-IPv6-Route:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3162#section-2.5 .

The handsets can easily support it if they are based on operating systems
that support it. I know Linux does, so Android could use it. Don't know
about OS X / iPhone, but on the other hand the iPhone doesn't support IPv6
on the mobile interface yet.
