Could we have 4000 10 people companies provide Internet connectivity to
the majority of US business within a couple of years? At $80-200/month for
a T1? This is what "they" are trying to avoid/slow down. 

I am not sure how you can come to thus conclusion. Where do you think
the 4000 10 person businesses are getting their connectivity from? I do
not see them forming their own connectivity to each other. There is a
need for large providers as well, and they need your business.

Seems that the Internet turns some things on its head. Like the need to
have large corporations for providing large scale Internet services.
According to Boardwatch magazine, about 4000 2-10 people ISPs are
providing Internet services to the majority of the US. ATT, Sprint and so
on can't make money at it but it sure is a great way for a technical
person to make $100K/year from with a T1 in a living room.
