This seems easy, so my answer is probably going to be lame.
If by "multi-home" you mean 2 connects, 2 providers, 2 POPs, then I can tell you
that Broderbund is doing this with out 2 DS-3s and 2 T1s. We are still layer 1
"Pac Bell Backhoe" fault intolerant, however (one fiber bundle to 1 Pac Bell
CO).

Does anyone know of any non-ISP companies that have decided to
multi-home? Is this a major trend for non-ISP companies running
mission-critical applications on the Internet?
So far, I only know of a couple, with PointCast being one of them.
