Err, well, you're talking to three different routing domains, and they
don't know about each other, so there is more to it. There is also the
problem of how the three ISPs then have to announce the customer's
address space to the rest of the Internet. BGP doesn't handle that
well at all, actually. :-(

(And yes, you can make it kind of work, and yes, it's really ugly.)

Dennis, it is often better to have multiple connections to the same
ISP. That makes life _A_LOT_ easier. Really.
