I was refering above to companies that would be fine with a /48 or even
a /40 or similar.

In the end though, it does not matter if they have a /32 or a /40 or a
/48; all those will use 1 routing slot.

The only case it will use more is when they de-aggregate...

HP and other similar companies likely need more than a /32 if they do
proper hierarchical routing between their sites...

Hence why quite a few companies have requested multiple prefixes from
multiple RIRs...
