What services require an IP, whether they can be supplied via NAT, how
soon "smart phone" adoption will bring IP to every handset ... all these
are good and valid points.  However, they all distract from the glaring
and obvious reality that there is no current explanation for Verizon
Wireless needing 27M IPs.

27 million IP addresses for 45 million customers with addressable
devices sounds well within ARIN's justification guidelines.

Just because most of your customers are trying to pull the wool over
ARIN's eyes doesn't mean Verizon is too. :)
