In the IPIP tunnels, on both ends, you have a single point of failure since you cannot multihome (as discussed 25 MAR "Can't add redundant AMPR gateway to portal").
I know that the network I'm building as well as a few other BGP announced networks are multihomed -- no single point of failure to the internet. In fact, we have planned for one of the BGP announcements and peering to take place at one of our RF point of presences.
Another advantage is latency... having traffic travel from Memphis to San Diego and back just to get from my cellphone to a 44net-connected server in the same room is disappointing.

So how do you do it now? You use an IPIP tunnel (another type of VPN), nothing changes for the end user except, his tables get much smaller, she routes local 44.x.x.x traffic locally and uses an IPIP tunnel to a tier or border router.
So you're creating multiple new single points of failure. With your
plan,
I can get to a few other local gateways. Anything else has to go through this new single point of failure locally, plus, presumably, and another single point of failure near my destination. So most worldwide connectivity
would
now have to traverse two single points of failure that currently don't exist. This is good because ...?
