The point is an IP address can identify the account owner of the connection - it doesn't identify which member of the family was using the net connection, or which strange walking past their house jumped on their unsecured wifi, or the exact customer using. So IP address great for identifying the person who manages the net connection - not great for identifying who was actually using the connection for a specific request.

Submission + - SPAM: Google Bans Tethering App From Android Market

A developer who contributed to the WiFi Tether for Root Users app reports that Google has banned the application from the Android Market. The developer writes in his blog that Google cited a section of the developer agreement that says that Google may remove applications if they violate the device maker's or the operator's terms of service. T-Mobile, the only operator to offer an Android phone, expressly forbids tethering phones to a computer. This incident raises some interesting questions, the developer notes in his blog. 'Does this mean that apps in the Market have to adhere to the ToS for only T-Mobile, even when other carriers sign on? Will all apps have to adhere to the ToS for every carrier that supports Android phones?'"
