They can charge for IPv4 addresses because they're perceived to be scarce.
With IPv6 they may be able to charge for allowing me a /48 instead of a
/56 or /64, but IMO they won't be able to assign me a /128 by default and
charge me if I want a /64.
They will charge you for every address beyond one. Wait and see.
BTW, giving out /64s is one reason why the IPv6 address space will be
exhausted in barely more time than was required to exhaust the IPv4
address space.
Then I will switch ISPs.
They will all be doing it.
ARIN guidelines specifically require ISPs to give out larger blocks when
requested. If any ISPs try to be hard-nosed about it and give out /128's
anyway, it will be pretty easy to pressure & shame them sufficiently that
they'll feel it in the marketplace.
How? I haven't been able to pressure or shame my ISP into setting
rDNS correctly for my IP address. In fact, nobody at my ISP knows
what that means.
