Well you can and you can't

Basically when I researched out T1 lines for our corporate server - I was offered a class C IP license, what 255 ip's for nothing - included.

If a service provider wants your business and wants to compete, they'll offer it. Unfortunately cable or regular house-hold DSL do not need to offer it to compete.

The downside is the IP's I have do not belong to my corportation. They belong to the service provider so if I switch providers, I gotta switch IP's ..... all of them.

You can get them by applying yourself, through

Although it is a process. Since the IP numbers are being used up so fast they require half of the ones assigned to you to be used in a short amount of time, month or so I can't recall - then 80% needs to be used in 3 months or so.

So you can apply for some, as far as it goes for just picking one, it won't work for a public IP.
