I'll go out on a limb and suggest that most people loathe their telcos with an undying venomous passion, and can think of nothing worse than dealing with any more of them than they do now.

There are likely a few orders of magnitude more people who have more than one internet service available at the same time at home then there are people with two bgp speaking peers. there are 38453 ASes that appear in the DFZ this week and I don't see that number growing to 1 billion anytime soon.
