The two I am working with are factoring buying IP space as part of the business model. Folks like Cogent are now charging a $50 BGP fee so it is a new world. I am seeing more and more folks go to MPLS to try and squeeze as many IPs out as they can. They are flattening their customer pools and saving a few IPs here and there.
A couple others are paying for circuits they no longer use just to hold onto IP space.
