All of the colo's I use globally offer addressing at around ~$1 per IP per month, no bandwidth or power or anything attached. Sp based on that you can lease today for (US)$0.0013 per hour. On 2/10/13 6:20 PM, "Dobbins, Roland" <rdobbins(a)arbor.net> wrote:

I suggested that if it really got that bad, people would be asking about leasing by the hour rather than buying outright.
Don't most forms of transit (consumer broadband, IDC hosting, CPE-terminated commercial, et. al.) implicitly charge for 'leasing' routable IP space for customers who don't have PI space? Consumer broadband providers generally charge more for fixed addresses than dynamically-assigned ones.
Granted, most of these services are billed monthly, and there's a bandwidth component to the billing for many of them, as well - but it can be argued that dividing a monthly bill for one of these services into hours yields an applicable result . . .
