Where this happens it tends to be because universities plan to assign a /48 to each student or staff "customer" with a connection to the university network.Regarding the "200 customers", not in the RIPE region many NRENs have allocations even though they do not have 200 universities to serve. There has to be some flexibility in the RIR interpreting the intent of the applicant, rather than the applicant playing the numbers game to get their request granted.
In the RIPE region these are time limited and intended for real experiments rather than ISPs that want to try out IPv6.I would much rather see consistent text in all RIRs than divergence of policies. One area that is a little fuzzy (I would welcome clarification) is the experimental allocations that RIRs can make. These would seem the place for some consistency (in policy and pricing!) now that 6bone prefixes are no longer available. Any small startups or experimenting ISPs could then utilise such address space, helping the bootstrap issue while keeping a more consistent policy?
