In a nutshell and very first of all, you need at least 2 internet connections. Those ISP must be willing to setup BGP peering between your routers and theirs. Once that agreement has been made, you need to get their AS Numbers and submit the ASN request located on ARIN's website (http://www.arin.net). After some paperwork and money exchanges, ARIN assigns you an AS number. At that point, you can configure the BGP peering. There's more details to it, but that's what I went through in a nutshell. ARIN has a pretty good flowchart of their process located at http://www.arin.net/education/asn_process/index.html
Thanks although sounds like its probably more trouble than it'd be worth to us.
