Since IPs are basically free, anything above 0.0 is too much. Any fees sbc decides to throw at you are just a way to tax people who now what the hell they are doing since the average internet customer probably doesn't even know what an ip is. If you dropped their service because of high fees they wouldn't care because they want to tailor to the average user. Not the .00001% of people who would want more than one ip.
The point is not that IPs are cheap (they are, you can get up to a /20 delegation for ARIN for a $1,500 yearly membership fee which equates to .73 cents per IP per year) but the fact that the global IP space is quickly being depleted by people who have no clue what an IP address is actually for and do not need a static IP or even more that one static IP.
No one arguing about this policy has given adequate justification for more than one IP assignment or why dynamic NAT via one public IP would not be sufficient for their needs. This just goes to prove that you DON'T need more than one because if you did you could justify it and would understand what goes into setting it up is what requires the charge.
