IPv6 Advertisements

/48's handed out by ARIN are most likely in the PI range that ARIN has deamed for PI use only.  Networks are aware of the PI block and have opened their filters to let /48 or more specific through if and only if it comes from the special IP block.  That said...not everyone is letting more specific than a /32 through no matter what IP block it comes from.

More specific advertisements always stand a chance of being blocked. I was 
more interested in whether or not people know of places where they are 
actively being blocked and why.

That said- ARIN is handing out /48's- should we be blocking validly 
assigned networks?
