I think the type of service being purchased is the difference. When
buying DS-3 and up I've almost never seen providers charge for IP's.
A few have a one time fee to provision, but no ongoing monthly.
However, in the DSL/Cable Modem/WISP world, and to some degree in
the small scale hosting world (think the < $100/month plans) it
seems totally common to charge fees for IP's. One static for $10,
a /29 for $30, etc.
I think the issue with many of the low end plans is you are in a
situation where if the customer calls in the support cost exceeds
your profit for some number of years, and thus if they call in for
static IP's / more IP's you charge them to recover those costs.
