> If you have 30 millions "dummy" DSL (or cable modem, or mobile-phone)
users how would you provide IP addresses for them
 
According to current RIPE policy, you assign each one of these DSL or
cable modem customers with a /48. Mobile phones are different and should
probably get a /64 since their internal networks will not have
additional interfaces added. Of course, in the future we will have
mobile phones which can act as Internet gateways for our car LAN and
then they will get a /48.
 
There are enough /48's availble in IPv6 to give every living human being
over 4000 of them, so I don't see any problems with 30 million
assignments.
 
As far as education goes, the following ARIN wiki page has a good
summary of how to set up an IPv6 allocation plan and it also links to an
Internet draft that has a more detailed discussion of the topic:
http://www.getipv6.info/index.php/IPv6_Addressing_Plans
Everyone involved with IPv6 addressing on a practical level, should read
this wiki page and the documents that it references.
