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.
Uh, no, but thank you for playing. It's the other direction that is the problem. How does he advertise routes to Sprint so that Sprint customers can reach him but without Sprint advertising his routes at exchange points? That's the other half of what he's asking for, and he can't do it unless Sprint sets up filters to do it for him.
