This doesn't fly. He can't set his own routing policy and he can't multihome. If he changes the single upstream his customers needs to renumber. As of today, "more-specific BGP multihoming" works. So he *can* set his own routing policy.
Can you personaly garantee the upstream suplying the space won't aggregate his prefix ?
And if he does, so what? He will loose traffic, as the *other* ISP will make the more specific visible world-wide, and thus no paid-for packets will arrive at the aggregating upstream. Using a more-specific block out of PA space is a well-established technique in IPv4 today. It's not "beautiful", but it works better than other variants.
If you can't this just turned a nice IPv6 space rental setup.
