You're assuming that the only way to be multi-homed is to have an ASN. That's not correct. ARIN's fees are discriminatory; a small ISP must pay a much higher percentage of its revenues than a large one for IPs, ASNs, etc. Clever small ISPs find ways to work around that, and it makes them more competitive. --Brett Glass
