The point (and this goes back to my original post) was that VZ is missing

opportunities by not offering such a thing as an add-on for their business-
class FiOS services.  If they brand it and bill at as a business-class
service, then allowing someone to multihome using FiOS and something else
does not seem like such an unreasonable request.

Well... they brand it as a SOHO service and AFAICT they refuse to
install "business fios" anywhere zoned commercial.

If they would actually connect it to a commercial facility, there'd be
no shortage of third parties willing to do a fios line pair plus a
tunnel and then drive whatever data over it that you wanted.
