Speak to the local RIR[1]. They have varying requirements, but broadly you generally need to justify your use case, multi-home (for your own AS) and pay a yearly membership fee. After that, you need to speak to your ISP about either advertising it or peering with you - or going dark fibre if you're a real masochist.

Good luck, update us if you do it!

Yeah usually you won't be able to buy one if you don't have your own AS

In my area, the AS is usually provided 'free' with your membership.
