The IP space I have is a /24 assigned to me by Cogent. Assignment means 
I can advertise it through BGP peering with anyone I want. I do this now 
through Towerstream. We would keep the Cogent T1 and /24 and use the 
FIOS link as the other uplink, but since Verizon will not BGP peer 
directly we need an ISP peer elsewhere to peer with us over a tunnel.

You can see BaseSpace's route advertisements from AS30183 at any looking 
glass.
