Not going to happen. The ISP that starts doing that will loose
99.999% of it's customers day after they start charging ;-)
Anyhow, static IP addresses are cheap. Even /24 block of IP addresses
is something like $1200 one time fee (or somewhere around that number)
plus some small yearly fee (however, you run a risk that some big ISPs
filter out small blocks in BGP announcements (was it /19?), or at
least Sprint used to do that). It's not that hard to bypass your ISP.
