Could you please site chapter and verse?  Here's what I can find:

http://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#six54

6.5.4.1. Assignment address space size

End-users are assigned an end site assignment from their LIR or ISP.  
The exact size of the assignment is a local decision for the LIR or  
ISP to make, using a minimum value of a /64 (when only one subnet is  
anticipated for the end site) up to the normal maximum of /48, except  
in cases of extra large end sites where a larger assignment can be  
justified.


> ISPs should be charging based on *bandwidth usage* not on IP usage.


Sorry, ISPs charge based on providing a *service*.  Yes, that  
includes bandwidth (and generally flat bandwidth, not usage) and also  
other components (DHCP, addressing, DNS, email, web hosting, spam  
filtering, etc).
