No. AT&T, Comcast, Time-Warner are not End-Users. They are ISPs. They =
pay
ISP fees.
I believe each of the ones you mention are in the "X-large" category, =
thus
paying $18,000/year, not $100/year.
An ISP which needs less than a /40 (which currently has no supporting
allocation policy) would pay $1250/year. However, the nature of current
IPv6 allocation policy is that an ISP would get a /32 and the minimum
ISP IPv6 fee would, therefore, be $2,250/year.
An end user pays $1,250 for anything smaller than a /40 (usually a /48)
once, then, $100/year thereafter for ALL of their resources.
