This isn't really for remote offices, just our large campus sites.

For me, this seems unclear:

6.5.4.2. Assignment of multiple /48s to a single end site
When a single end site requires an additional /48 address block, it
must request the assignment with documentation or materials that
justify the request. Requests for multiple or additional /48s will be
processed and reviewed (i.e., evaluation of justification) at the RIR
level.
Note: There is no experience at the present time with the assignment
of multiple /48s to the same end site. Having the RIR review all such
assignments is intended to be a temporary measure until some
experience has been gained and some common policies can be developed.
In addition, additional work at defining policies in this space will
likely be carried out in the near future.

Not too worried about VZ. Given that large content providers are
getting end-site address space, I think they will have to adjust their
stance.

Remote offices aren't included in this plan.
