Uhm, you are saying that there would be singlehomed customers (let's call 
them A) of a ISP, that would need BGP to talk to the provider. Customer A 
then in turn would have single-homed customers that would need to talk BGP 
to them?

This sounds like a very teoretical excersie to me, but maybe people are 
building their networks liek this. In that case I suggest they figure out 
how to deal with this...:)

Correct. And the Internet is becoming pretty large scale.
