Test market a dialup service at a reduced rate that gives people a

No, implement NAT in such a way that you can roll this
service out without anyone noticing, except in the
difficult case where an "inside" and "outside" address
collision is triggered by using IP addresses rather than
DNS names.

Then once you've rolled it out, you can assign static IP
addresses, large address ranges, and other popular
shopping-list items that a number of users seem to want,
to the extent that they are a market differentiator that
in the absence of NAT favours less-conserving ISPs.
