They likely can't use /48 plus semantic prefixes, because if ARIN doesn't accept "semantic prefixes" as using space efficiently (and word from ARIN on this thread seems, well, negative on the matter), then they won't be able to get more space from ARIN. That means that there is a fundamental tension between using semantic prefixes and giving more address space to customers.

Wierdly, I know them not to been fools.  one observation that can be 
made about larger assignments made at a later time is that:

A. they have been at this a long time and thinking/application has need 
a long time in coming.

B. They're managing their resource assignment.
