Also, I think that this discussion leads back to the way hosting companies are nowadays, and the way they treat their customers. I have actually given out less IPs because I give them away per ARIN justification. Why? Because I take the time to ask people, why do you need this IP? 9 times out of 10 the customer realizes that he doesn't need the IP, and when you realize the person does require it for a nameserver or something like that, then they rightfully deserve it.

Alot of hosting companies try and push the IP space as a neccessity because they make an additional $x per month off of it. Where as we at Tear2 have actually used far less IPs because we take the time to explain to our customers what IPs are and why they may or may not need them.

It all leads back to your customer support, and how far you are going to do to please a customer.
