I think I see where the miscommunication lies. We were discussing ISP's running IBGP sessions with multi-homed customers. giving you the ability to announce routes to another provider tagged with my AS is what makes me nervous.

Ah, ok, that's the miscommunication.

Are you announcing routes to BBN as AS 701? or to UUNet from AS 1?

Nah, they wouldn't let me, I'd have to fix UUNet's TCO, and the first thing to go would be that damn ATM switch, *then* I'd have to fix BBN, and there ain't that much time in the world.....
