> In April 2009 RIPE accepted a policy proposal of January 2006 to assign IPv6 provider-independent IPv6 prefixes. Assignments are taken from the address range 2001:678::/29 and have a minimum size of a /48 prefix.

You can have your own PI bloc and move it between ISPs if you so desire. You effectively own the bloc.
