Zachary,
Well, but was the changing of money for a *purchase* or a *lease* ? The comi ng CIDRization seems to lend itself more toward leasing your IPs from your provi der than purchasing them... much like small companies rarely buy a suite in a lar ger building, instead they lease... with IPs though, the length of term of the le ase would be something to the effect of 'while getting service from the same prov ider'.
The issue of leasing vs owning addresses is discussed in draft-ietf-cidrd-addr-ownership-04.txt Internet Draft. Yakov.
