and if ipv6 made the addresses much more freely available your isp could 
afford to dish out all you could ever want on a $20/month connection.

The ip's are not just free to the ISP, there is a cost associated with them 
each year in addition to the bandwidth you use. Not to mention it makes 
routing rules more complex the more ips an isp has to deal with in separate 
groups.
