This is a non-issue, because we're not doing this, but ...
| assuming everybody could afford (at least) on phone, IP(v6) over the NMBA
| network called "the world-wide phone system" already would need more then
| 2^32 addresses, right?
That's going to depend upon whether there is internal structure in that
numbering, aside from what is in the phone numbers already. 2^32 is
probably too small for that particular subnet, but ...
| /80 would be a problem even for all phones in Germany.
Germany really has more than 2^48 phones? Or even more than a 2^48
phone number space? That's a 15 (decimal) digit phone number space.
In any case, the 2^64 space allocated for subnets is easily going to
be big enough to map the POTS number space, should anyone actually
want to do that.
