A large chunk of ips are end users which make the bulk of things.
IP's are a resource champ. Webmasters have many reasons to do what they want with IP's and how they want to set up their sites and networks. It's a choice they PAY FOR.

I always love the web hosting companies who talk about 'waste' when it comes to IP's when 90% of the hosting industry it's self is wasteful. You know goddamn well most clients do not need a high end box or Quad core. But they insist on it so you give it to them because they demand it. Clients buy on price more than need.

It's the same as the home user. 90% do nothing more than check email, surf the web, and maybe download a song or watch some porn. They need nothing more than a netbook type of box, and an internet connection. Yet they are over sold on $500-1000 servers.

The whole web hosting industry is waste of resources. So bickering about some IP's and how they are used always makes me laugh. If you do not want your clients to USE this resource that's available. Than you can simply charge YOUR clients $5.00 per IP. Hence stopping the waste on your network. Price them out of using them.
