Wouldn't there be a fee to utilize https?

Most CPE provider will give you a cert at no cost.

One needs an SSL certificate, but the operator may already have one. If
not, or they don't want to reuse an existing server, they can either get one
for a fee or maybe use a self-signed certificate.

Only if you like giving $995 to Verisign for fancy SSL certificates.
Most https phones can use locally issued X.509 certificates for the
download. Some use a manufacturer issued root certificates if you
want to get fancy and use code signing, etc.
Not the same problem as Microsoft Internet Explorer trusting every
root certificate in its cache. IP phones usually have a very short
certificate trust list in the phone.
