I have not seen any plans/deployment of Nokia having a globally covering
cellphone network. Also I don't think that any telco would like that a
cellphone maker suddenly is taking over their business, could be but nah
I don't think so.

If you really want to know why they need the prefix, why don't you just
ask them. David Kessens is probably the person who you want to talk to,
with him doing doing a lot of 6bone work and of course the RIPE IPv6 wg
and a lot of IETF stuff...
