I don't think anyone is disagreeing with you, or implying otherwise here. The point (and this goes back to my original post) was that VZ is missing out on revenue (and customer service, but let's not get ahead of ourselves...) opportunities by not offering such a thing as an add-on for their business- class FiOS services. If they brand it and bill at as a business-class service, then allowing someone to multihome using FiOS and something else does not seem like such an unreasonable request. As others have mentioned, if 19262 would toss in a few route-reflectors and let their customers EBGP-multihop to them, that would be a step in the right direction. In the scenario I'm working on at the moment, default, or default+customer routes would be perfectly fine. I neither want nor need a full view for this application. jms
