The price depends on the market not the operating cost. For example,
in the US, on one particularly large consumer Internet provider, the
price for a static IP address works out to US$7/_month_.

やはりAfriNICは開発途上国が多いので、これからInternetインフラ導入のケースも
多いわけですね。
その際のIPアドレスのコストが議論の対象になるわけですね。
#見てるとかなりざっくりな議論であまり噛み合ってない気もしますが。
