A hoster can get /48's for each customer. Each customer is technically a seperate site. It's this stupid desire to over conserve IPv6 addresses that causes this not IPv6.
In theory, yes. In practice, I'm skeptical. I think many will sub-delegate /64s
Plus, nobody has yet addressed the fact that new /48s will be just so EASY to obtain since they are going to be plentiful... therefore... the LACK of scarcity will make hosters and ESP... NOT be very motivated to keep their IP space clean... as is the case now with IPv4.
Also, it seems so bizarre that in order to TRY to solve this, we have to make sure that MASSIVE numbers of individual IPv6 IP addresses.. that equal numbers that my calculate can't reach (too many digits)... would all be allocated to one single combined usage scenario. Then allocating only /48s multiples that number by 65K. Mind boggling
