Basically there are two reasons for dynamic addresses. The first one is privacy. The common interpretation of our privacy laws enforces dynamic addresses, but we all know that cookies, web bugs and so on work great for tracking users. The argument is actually obsolete meanwhile. And the other reason is that ISPs can prevent private customers with inexpensive flat rates from offereing services. Sure, there are dynamic DNS services, but they are used mostly by more savvy users. That also enables ISPs to charge for fixed IP addresses. A more expensive business class DSL includes a stastic address.
