So, this same IP announcement for the servers is done at BGP level with other
networks?

What I understand is:

1. we only need 1 ASN, to communicate with the rest of the internet
2. every POP would connect to that AS with BGP
3. it's backwards compatible, in the sense that we can add POPs where we
   actually have servers but locations without close POPs would use whatever
   they get
