Re: IPv4 smaller than /24 leasing?

Most of the ones I know personally are doing CGN and have no real need for IP addresses.  I know of Wireless ISPs with 
2000 customers and only about 50 IPv4 addresses in use for nat and the occasional Public IP customer.

What's the business model, if you have less than 120 customers? Selling
value-add services on top of moving the packets? Or just be in a country
where cost-of-everything is so cheap that you can make a profit on 120
customers at $20/mo?

And hundreds?  Is that "in the US", or "worldwide"?
