> Do you actually own that /48?

Well. From TFA:

  So I decided to use Free Range Cloud service provider to lease a /48, which cost me around C$10/year. I also used their tunnel service to then route this over to me.
The link embedded in the pull quote is [0], which isn't maximally helpful, but it's useful. Approximately 60 seconds of poking around there brings us to [1], which quotes a "ARIN - /48 IPv6 lease ... Use on our network or yours" for $8/year with a $2 setup fee. That sounds a lot like what's mentioned in TFA.

So. You tell me?

It's was a rhetorical question, he doesn't own it. And it takes much less than sixty seconds to figure that out:

  $ whois 2602:fed2:7e02::
  ...
  NetRange:       2602:FED2:: - 2602:FED2:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF
  CIDR:           2602:FED2::/32
  NetName:        10VPN-PRIMARY
  NetHandle:      NET6-2602-FED2-1
  Parent:         NET6-2600 (NET6-2600-1)
  NetType:        Direct Allocation
If that VPN provider goes out of business, he probably loses those addresses.
