One thing I always found rather bizar is where ISPs break internet connections after 24 hours to force the customer to get a new IP address.
And then the next step was where the home routers would disconnect after less then 24 hours to make sure that the disruption happens in the middle of the night. Or something to that effect.
I wonder if in Germany people get new telephone numbers every 24 hours as well.

They started doing it so that you didn't just keep your IP for ages as a quasi static IP and then host things from there... because the "dedicated" lines with a static IP were/are different offers with a lot bigger price tag. Yes, it's ridiculous, but has nothing to do with privacy laws.
