There is another thing - if you are multi-homed, and want to switch providers, it is pretty seamless and painless - no renumbering, no loss of connection, etc., as you always have a redundant path.
Sure -- though many ISPs will probably let you keep the address space, even if you switch away completely -- as long as you pay them enough (or the other ISP to route it). Bad practice, but has happened a lot, and probably still does :) FWIW, even if you are multihomed, that does not in and of itself require that you "own" address space. Public AS number is often enough (and even private will do, but that leads to other kind of mess.) -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds." Systems.
