   There's nothing stopping them

   Really, there isn't. Anyone can do it, if they want. Order the circuit(s), buy the equipment, hook it up. Done. OK, so it's over simplified, but how is the internet, or a private version, truly different than a LAN/WAN without any outside connections?
   

   Honest, the Internet is just a bunch of T1's and T3's (and their European counterparts) with routers. The circuit owners recoup their costs through selling access to outside parties.
