If he was to use multihop EBGP to maintain a full BGP mesh between all of the BGP speakers in his ASN and each POP only announced it's own networks upstream...?
Unless he has a specific need for a full mesh (and yes, I know that goes against normal practice), I would recommend to not complicate things until his internal network is done. If it is necessary to complicate things, then it would probably be easier to setup GRE tunnels between the sites and run IBGP inside them.
