Customers don't want static addresses.

They want DNS that works, with their own domain names, forward and
reverse.

They want renumbering events to be infrequent, and announced in
advance.

They want the box the cable/dsl/fios provider to actually work,
that is be able to do really simple stuff without having to buy
another stupid box to put behind it.

None of these require static, and in fact I'd think it would be
easier to get it right than it would be to do statics for most
providers.  But, I must be wrong, since the only solution virtually
every provider offers is to "move up" to "a static IP".
