It costs to the end user, if you want a static IP. BT OpenWorld charges 10GBP per month for that.
stuipt statement. because if an ISP runs out of addresses he will request a new allocation.
So why does the ISP charge the end user? Is there a danger this will repeat in IPv6, with /48, /64 or even /128 (which would be a real disaster as that would lead to IPv6 NAT for sure) being priced differently. So long as enough ISP's offer /48 "for free" this hopefully wouldn't happen. Tim
