And someone with a /20 pays $140 or so per /24...

Typically in economies of sale, the larger volume you buy, the lower  
the price over all, again, in volume.. Assuming that someone buying  
a /13 is getting a huge volume of IP space vs. say a /20, it is  
logical to assume a "volume discount"...

However, it has been mentioned several times here that we are NOT  
buying IP space, but rather maintenance of that space.  All things  
being equal, I would like to assume that it costs more to maintain a / 
13 allocation than a /20. That said,  the pricing matrix is greatly  
flawed.
