A combo WISP and pre-DOCSIS cable system we bought four years ago in a
relatively rural area had exactly such a setup with Sprint and
UUNet/Verizon/MCI. They had just one T-1 with each provider and a very
simple BGP configuration. I just checked, and see that their ASN has been
reused.

I beleive Jack said that they have redundant connections to his network. I
took that to mean that they did not multihome to different AS.
Such arrangements are not uncommon. Sprint seems to have done very well
selling this sort of near-turnkey service to rural DSL carriers, tiny single
town MSOs and the like.
