telecom hotel/data centre. In the exchange point, you could theoretically have special "INSURANCE" peering agreements where you don't exchange traffic until there is an emergency, and then you can quickly turn it on, perhaps using an automated tool.
And then there's the fun of doing actual live fall-over testing to make sure it works as intended. (I wonder how many people who multi-home for outage survival actually *test* their multi on a reasonably regular basis?) And as Michael noted, this only works in a telcom hotel, where you don't have to pay for dark fiber from your site to the connection point...
