It has been pointed out that the ARIN fees would amount to something like
$20 per year by the time they trickle down to the small ISP's. I can't see
that having much effect on them getting started. In fact, I've seen some
accounts of very small ISP's starting up recently in Australia where the
similar pricing structure for IP adresses is already in place, so that
appears to indicate that these prices are not a disincentive for small
ISP's to start up.
