In my layman's view.... In the US, the cheap internet connections, 
including broadband ones such as cable internet, frequently use 
dynamically-assigned IP addresses that are "leased" to the user for a set 
period.  In my case, though, it appears that I keep the same IP address and 
it is automatically renewed, as long as I'm not logged off when the lease 
expires.  Then all bets are off.  Also, my cable ISP does not allow me to 
maintain a server on my machine anyway.


I know of one case, at least, where the cost for the identical 
non-broadband connection speed, but with a fixed IP address, was quoted at 
something like 3x greater.
