then don't worry, a /48 will work just fine. The networks that do

I can't in good conscience justify a /32. That is just too much
space.
I believe I can, however, justify a separate /48 in Europe and APAC
with
my various offices and data centers in that region coming from the /48
for that region.
I'm not sure it's about good conscience and worrying about address
space wastage anymore. I mean sure, don't go ask for a /8 or
something, but follow the RIR guidelines - don't paint yourself in to
a corner later by trying to save the world now.
If you are assigning addresses to customers, you should have a /32
allocation. If you are an end user of addresses, you should have a /48
portable assignment. In APNIC world anyway, I'm not sure of the terms
and policies used in other regions.
