<p>It isn't a cheap feature for sure for am individual user, the $500 covers all ip addresses for an entire account though, so for business users that have a lot of devices it works out pretty cheap. Part of the cost involved is because of the way the billing systems work. IP addresses are refreshed every 24 hours for billing, its not really an IT capabilities issues but a billing system that probably just needs to be revamped. I would suspect that once verizon goes to LTE ip features will get more affordable since LTE is an ip based technology unlike cdma/evdo.</p>
