One option is to have your address space announced by a VPS provider with a datacenter geographically close by and tunnel the addresses back to the router on your mountaintop site. I've done this in the past, before I had a colo provider able to announce addresses directly for me, and it worked quite well.
Once such company who does this is Vultr (https://www.vultr.com/).%C2%A0 They have a datacenter in Paris and will do BGP announcements on their basic VPS plans (which start at $5USD/mo.)

Announcing your AMPRnet allocation on internet is simply a matter of telling your colocation/VPS hosting company that you have portable address space that you want to announce on internet and route that to your server or router. That is a standard change in their portfolio, they do that for lots of other customers and for them it is a simple matter of configuration in their existing network. They know how to do it and they already monitor it.
But this option is not always available in France. Several big providers do not offer this option at all. And for those who do, it's expensive. The cheapest I found gives a discount of 50% for hams, but it still costs $80/month ! That's why a standalone D-Star or DMR repeater sysop can't afford that.
That's the reason why a regional or National BGP platform with ressource sharing seems to be a good idea to me. Standalone users or sysops would just have to reach their closest plateform via VPNs.
