> ipv4 is obsolete and should not be used as a billing basis.

I disagree strongly here. IPv4 is not obsolete - yet! We may be past
"peak IPv4" (to borrow a term from the oil industry ;-) and it may have
started its descent towards obsolescence, but it will remain in use for
a long time to come. A lot of administrative work remains with IPv4
before we can say "over and done with", and for that reason IPv4 should
be _PART_OF_ the basis for billing. As things evolve, it's quite
possible that the IPv4 fraction of the basis will decrease, as,
eventually, the "IPv12" (or whatever the next generation will be called)
fraction increases, but IPv4 hasn't dropped dead yet.
