charging money is one way to limit the number of users who want to get a
limited resourec. and IP addresses are a limited resource (even if its an
artificial limit, due to someone once thinking 'well, 32 bits should be
enough for everybody' ;) ).
until the ipv6 era - i wouldn't assume this policy to change.
in fact, i'd expect providers to start NATing their ADSL users, if their
number grows too far and large. otherwise, i don't see how millions of
ADSL/cable/fixed-line connections could be supported, and i don't see ipv6
actually coming in any time soon (i.e. withing the next 3-4 years).
