Who owns a IP Addresses?

by mmiller . Updated 25 years, 4 months ago

In 1996, my company got a Domain Name with an IP Address. Now, 5 years later my ISP is dropping the company that supports my Internet wire coming into the building. I am having a new DSL wire bought into the building and I am keeping my original ISP. The ISP has informed me that I can not have the same IP address that I used to have and they will issue me a new IP address. This old IP address was a class C with 254 routable IP’s. Do they have the right to take this IP address from me or doI have the legal rights to it?
