That doesn't even make any sense. IPv4 is a contended resource, but IPv6 is not. They're already double-dipping by charging for the extra BGP sessions.

Perhaps, is the issue that what customers are paying for is the ability to have multiple BGP sessions against a wider address scope than standard p2p toward the same Cogent edge router, rather than just paying for the wider address scope space itself?

In other words; p2p BGPv6 session = free; p2mp BGPv6 session = $$.
