Sorry, doesn't really make much sense to me...

What about 4 people sharing one Internet connection at home, all with their own Dropbox account? What about someone that doesn't have an Internet connection (and who access Internet at school, libraries or their friends places)? And what about company Dropbox accounts?

In the article I mentioned that Dropbox would have to source some costs in infrastructure. In my opinion, Dropbox with your ISP would be more beneficial for multiple accounts. Dropbox could have a control panel for ISPs to link their customers to which would allow a MobileMe-esc division of the available space. The ISP could provide Dropbox with the assigned IP address (hashed, of course) so decisions regarding the use could be handled appropriately. Outside of your ISP connection, you'd have the same access with the same experience.
