Actually, some providers have already assigned /48 based on current
recommendation in their commercial service, and as Kosuke said, it
will have a large impact to change the assignemnt size.

I've looked up the assignemnt size used in JP regison:

http://www.apnic.net/meetings/18/docs/sigs/policy/policy-pres-tomohiro-ipv6-endusers.pdf

This is slightly dated information, and recently, at least one
provider has been starting commercial IPv6 services with /48
assignment. This service is targeted on residential users.

 | Is it practical to change in other regions?

I also would like to know about this.
