I think they are using pricing that is intended to discourage demand. For a company like Fairpoint they'd rather just keep everything dynamic, it gives them more ability to change and restructure their network over time.
As a point of reference, I have a full class C of public IP's at one of my datacenter locations. That is 255 IP addresses. I pay $20/mo. for the whole thing
In reality, all IP prices are really just made up, the top level costs to actual ISP's are practically zero.
