Why not properly assign /48s to customers and /40s to cities?

Side note: I recently tried to get /48 per customer with ARIN on repeated emails and they refused.  We were already given an IPv6 block a while back.  I told them I wanted to expand it so I could give out a /48 per customer and that we had more than 65535 customers, which is the block we got; 65535 /48s.  I didn't even account for our needs.

Without arguing the reasons, we will have to hand out /56s, rather than /48s because of this.  So, it's not all /48-unicorns, puppies and rainbows.
