Why do dynamic when you don't need to? There are several other arguments for dynamic addresses, for instance: - Dynamic addresses often make it easier to perform bulk moves of large numbers of customers. - Dynamic addresses for residential customers is a way to justify higher cost (and profit) for a "business" type service with static addresses. Given that many service providers find dynamic addresses for residential customers extremely convenient, *independent of the number of available addresses*, is there any reason to believe this will change with IPv6?
