In general shit ISPs will simply have a radius server/DHCP 
authenticating logins & assigning dynamic IP addresses to the routers 
WAN interface.

Unless telco level NAT is in force, as with mobiles, that WAN IP address 
is needed to route return WAN packets back to the LAN network.

In fact even with telco level NAT it needs an IP address although it 
will in this case be a 'private' one

Better ISPS tag your login to a fixed IP.

But in all cases the router must have a WAN level IP address

And in order to serve machines on the LAN, it needs an internal IP 
address to act as the default gateway for those machines.

How much of all that is accessible to you as a customer is another matter.
