To turn this around. There is at the moment no draft from the mobile world
on how they are going to provide mobile devices with prefixes that are 
shorter than 64 bits.

Instead, the expectation in this discussion is every vendor of every device in
the world has to change the device to accommodate the failure of the
mobile world to provide suitable prefixes. This also means that every 
installed device has to get an upgrade or become obsolete.

This is how operators run a substandard network and push to cost to everybody
else.

Of course, lots of operators like to run a network on the cheap. But few are
in a position to let the rest of the world pay the cost.
