Currently there are only 35 trillion /48 networks in the global 2000::/3 pool, 
if I've counted correctly. One trillion is not that many, it's the quantity of 
stars in the Andromeda galaxy, or the quantity of bacteria living in one human 
being...

With the 64bit interface identifier, there will probably never be a shortage of 
IPv6 *addresses* in a network, but well may be a shortage of IPv6 network 
*blocks* if they are given out in an irresponsive manner. IMHO.
