	There is nothing to indicate that they won't change either.

	ISP will meet their customers expectations or they will go
	out of business.  Today you expect to get a single IP address.
	If you make the expectation be that you will get a prefix ISP
	that fail to do this will go the way of the dodo.

	The cable provider I'm using didn't allow home networks at
	one time (they also had a single flat fee).  They do now
	though they leave the implementation and support to you
	(multiple volume based plans).  Customers expect to be able
	to connect their home network and the expectation is now
	being met.
