What you don't seem to understand is that cable modem customers are
connected 24x7. @Home does use DHCP, but the address almost never
changes since DHCP is designed to keep assigning the same address to
the same host as long as possible. Think of them as pseudo-static.

If this is the case, then all of the mid to large size ISPs should be able
to justify a whole bunch of new space based on DSL customers... They are
always connected so they can have a full time address too, whether through
static or DHCP...
