Some providers are multihomed but cannot cover the costs, even for a small lir.
If you want to be multihomed, the costs for routers & co. are far higher than for being LIR. If you can't afford being LIR, be single-homed.
Are you sure? Old BGP-capable Cisco routers (like 25xx), especialy from eBay are very cheap. Also pls do not forget about PC+Unix+zebra/gated/etc solutions. They are still on the market. As example - we have one "multihomed" (PI /23) customer with 64K external uplink and 10Mb connection to local IX. -- Regards, Vladimir.
