in theory this is correct, but you should think about good manageable
switches, so that you can build vlans. Without vlans your security in your
network is not so good, because every computer can arpspoof and so sniff in
the traffic of the other ips/nets you have conntected to the switch. Even
Man-in-the-middle attacks are possible, if you don't think about vlans. You
can also bind only fixed MAC Addresses to the switch ports, so that nobody
can spoof another MAC/ARP of others, but I would prefer vlans :)

okay... in short: You need to contact the ripe and ask them for an "AS" Number
and for an IP-Network for you.
If you got you own AS Number, you can configure your cisco router (or every
other router which is able to use BGP (routing-protocol)) to annouce this AS
to the next AS (which normaly is the AS of your uplink (Maroc Telecom for
example). The AS of your uplink will annouce your AS to his next AS and so
on, until every AS in the world nows how to reach your AS.
And you can announce over this AS Path your IPs (you got from the RIPE).
After you made this, you should be reachable from all over the world...

I can only give you a short overview over the things you need... (bgp router,
AS-Number, IP-Network). But you should inform yourself on other internet
sites... just search for: "bgp" which stands for "border gateway protocol" or
AS. Even the ripe site should be quite informative.
In short: BGP is the protocol that makes the internet work, because all
provider use this protocoll for their dynamic routing.
With bgp you can also use multiple uplinks, even with the same network. So
that you can send and recieve pakets for you network over two uplinks for
example. This can be used for redundancy and for combining multiple uplinks
(if you need a lot of bandwidth)
