Starting/configuring the AS process (discussion, not looking for assistance)

If a company has an AS Number (ASN), how do they connect to the internet? Please don't say BGP, with cables, routers, etc... :)

Let me be a bit more direct. I looked up a company that has their own ASN and they have 3 neighbors...Level 3 communications, Akamai Technologies, and Comcast Cable. Does this mean that this company has a router which is physically connected to those 3 providers or that any of the next hops can be either of those providers?

As an example, take a look at this ASN, http://as-rank.caida.org/asns/136302

Are they directly connected to 9498 and 17917/route directly to those two ASNs?
