I agree.

It's my employers policy that a T1 customer recieve a /29 (up to a /28 if they 
can legitimize it based on the ARIN policy). A T3/DS3 customer is granted a 
/24 by default.

I'm not exactly sure what the purchase price is for additional space, but I do 
know that whatever space they request must still adhere the ARIN usage and 
guidelines. (goes for DSL, Dial, etc requests as well)

Quick question, does there exist a practice of charging customer for IP
address blocks used?  My theory is that the first Class C is included with
the service, but I'm wondering what happens when the customer wants 2,3,4 
or
more?

Shane:

I think an important question would be what level of service are they
buying.  Including 255 address with a T3 would be very reasonable, less so
with a T1, not very reasonable with DSL, and ridiculous with a dial-up
account.

There is generally a charge for additional IPs with DSL (or co-location)
services because it is so cheap. You don't usually find this with T1 and
above.  But everyone's pricing is different.
