How many ip addys does each customer need in a fully routed network? gateway, ip and broadcast. I see that as three. Or does a /30 use up four?

The customer will still use 1.

Either way, by bridging each customer only needs one.

your customers don't have a gateway? The only difference in routing and bridging as far as this is concerned, is where the gateway IP resides.

The benefits that come with routing to each customer can be made up for by using a router and/or firewall at each cpe and by blocking client to client communications. Both this and routing result in the same thing eh? Customers don't mess with the other customers or the network.

Controlling client to client comms on a single AP will only limit access to other clients of the same AP...It will not prevent customer a on AP1 from communicating with customer a on AP2.
