Interesting thought...  the answer is likely yes, but it actually may
be more likely an opportunity for smaller ISP's as it's the ratio of
supply over usage rate that determines how long one can stretch an
IPv4-only connectivity model.  It changes to more of an opportunity
for deeply-funded entities in the presence of a market-like transfer
policies.
