If i was a customer i would refuse and tell the LIR to go away with its
services.

As a customer i am interested in the end product which is the service. So
charge me for say bandwidth, dns, web, email etc but dont charge me for
the mechanism by which this resources are delivered to me, so to speak,
the IP addresses that enable the service delivery.
