As long as you are multi-homed you can get a small allocation (/48), APNIC and ARIN have procedures for this.

Yes, you have to pay for it, but the addresses will be yours, unlike the RFC1918 ranges which is akin to 2.4Ghz 
wireless.. lets just share and hope we never interconnect/overlap.

I can't find a RFC1918 equivalent for v6 with the exception of 2001:0DB8::/32# which is the ranges that has been assigned 
for documentation use and is considered to NEVER be routable.  In that /32 are 65536 /48's... way more than the RFC1918 we 
have now.


 RFC4193 - Unique Local IPv6 Unicast Addresses

http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-address-space
FC00::/7              Unique Local Unicast    [RFC4193]

 ..maybe they should have called it RFC1918 for IPv6.

FWIW, 2001:0DB8::/32 was allocated by APNIC. Not quite the same as being an RFC/IANA delegated/reserved netblock.
