Charging for a Static IP is also a deterrent. Most of the time either
gamers or people who want to run servers want static public IP addresses.
You don¹t want some kid hosting 10 other friends on his connection do you?
This is why most gamers need to have a public IP. They are essentially
running a server for their buddies to connect to. All Xbox Live does is
connect to the best host (aka other person) to feed off them.
If you are going to hand out public IP addresses to residential
customers assign them from a pool and make them change so often via DHCP.
