You would use BGP inside your own network if say you have different
routers connected to the outside world and wanted each to know about each
other.
I do just this, I have 3 routers talking BGP to the outside world, then
router 1 and 2 talk BGP to each other, as well as 1 and 3 talk to each
other, router 1 tells router 2 what it's learned from router 3, but router
3 is at an exchange point, so it only needs to know OSPF routes on my
internal network.
