Absolutely!

Delegated through the ISPs, of course.  I'd do it in a heartbeat.

It imposes no burden to speak of.  We KNOW what services we're selling, and
to whom.  The cable or DSL that we sell to a small household (suitable for,
say, a /56) is a distinct service from the leased line connection that we
sell to a medium or large enerprise.  Marketing and deployment are separate
or trivially separable.  And if we are dynamically allocating an IP address
to a dial-up user, we know that, too.
