Yes, it looks so.

YEs yes, but how much of that /44 is covering the end-users and how much
is reserved for interconnnections?

Ah great, but I guess few cellular operators (if any?) are LIRs.  Or
maybe that's true and I didnt know.

If all this were that simple and clearcut - there are enough /64s out
there - then why operators only assign one per one end user?
