Verizon FiOS - is BGP an option?

All:

I realize this might be a bit of a fool's errand, but I'm trying to 
determine if Verizon will speak BGP with FiOS business customers.  Their 
website is relatively lean on details.  Everything that mentions BGP 
points to VZB services, which does not appear to include FiOS.  Looking at 
the routing table, I do see several non-VZ ASNs downstream of AS19262, so 
it looks like it might be possible.

If that is the case, could anyone lend any insight to get past the "what 
is BGP?" response that likely awaits from their salescritters?
