                Yes, strictly superior to /32.

Be realistic. Give me one operator in Africa for which a /32 is not
currently more than enough.

I'm more concerned about the 2,500 US $ (a huge amount) for the
/32. It will certainly discourage people to start deploying IPv6,
since there is currently no real market demand.
