I was really thinking a multi-pronged approach, admin + cost + technical, combined together 
to create as much of a disincentive as possible.

I'm not sure any single option alone will be enough.

For some reason I had just assumed that essentially people were just running out of IPv4 space
and looking to obtain some more.  I had not considered that they were possibly selling this on to
a customer as a 'product/service/solution'!
