That is a misconception. If I want to go online with my laptop through  
my mobile phone's cellular link, I need a prefix between the laptop  
and the phone and then something between the phone and the ISP. So  
that could be two separate /64s or some other setup, but just an  
address for the phone doesn't cut it.
