A combo WISP and pre-DOCSIS cable system we bought four years ago in a relatively rural area had exactly such a setup with Sprint and UUNet/Verizon/MCI. They had just one T-1 with each provider and a very simple BGP configuration. I just checked, and see that their ASN has been reused.

I beleive Jack said that they have redundant connections to his network. I took that to mean that they did not multihome to different AS. Such arrangements are not uncommon. Sprint seems to have done very well selling this sort of near-turnkey service to rural DSL carriers, tiny single town MSOs and the like. --Chris
