That's the IPv4 world. The ISP's will have to get inside their heads that IP space is not 'scarce' anymore. Fortunatly most RIR's will tell them that when they request an allocation and I even suspect that when an ISP get 'caught' for not passing out the correct bits down to their clients that they can be requested to return their allocation as they are not using it anyways. The IPv4 mentality should go. IPv6 != IPv4 fortunatly ;) Btw most ISP's I know charge for traffic, though basically they say 'this is the "fair use limit"', whenever you pass it you have to pay up, hard. Extra IPv4 IP's can usually be requested for an additional fee, but that's mostly an administration hurdle.
