You can already do this.

Simply buy a T1 from Sprint and filter out all of the non Sprint routes. 
Where you might have normally purchased 10 Mbps transit service, you can
now use just a T1 with the appropriate filters.  It will become a pain to
load balance and capacity plan all of those little pipes (increased
expense and complexity), but hey, if you don't want to or can't use an
exchange point this is an alternative.

But I digress...  ;)
