If the customers have customers with an AS, they may have an (official) AS too. If not, its up to you to setup a numbering plan for private AS numbers in your confederation. It seems to me, we are repeating the discussion about private IP space here... best regards, Wolfgang

The argument here is probably that it may be rather difficult to choose such a private AS number, if you have lots and lots of customers, that it would never clash with their customers' (depending on how it's being used) internal usage.
In general, I don't think this kind of AS number use is appropriate in a bigger scale.
