Depends on the kind of business, but anywhere would work. It'd obviously be more expensive to run one in any of the big cities. But there are many small restaurants in tiny cities that thrive and make a huge profit. It's all about the desirability in that location.

I have ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST in living in a small town/rural area after I am able to leave this small town/rural area. It's not the kind of place that is worth living in to me.

I wasn't implying a small town/rural area. There are cities that only have a population of 200-300 thousand and yet are incredibly vibrant, which is what I was saying about businesses making a tons of money in mid-size cities without the huge costs of running one in America's biggest cities.
College towns are one example, but I'll exclude those. Orlando, Tampa, Buffalo, Newark, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Minneapolis, New Orleans, Cleveland. I'm sure there are more. There's a fine line between a big city and a small town. Mid-size cities aren't even close to being like a rural area.

The businesses I would want to start (of course only even attempting to start one at first) are mobile phone network (like AT&T or Verizon or Sprint), a Fiber Broadband Internet Service Provider (if wired Internet is still relevant), a TV and Movie streaming service, everything I want to do seems to be expensive to start. Most people just shoot me down and say you can never do that. The idea of having a "normal" job for life with a boss, sounds depressing.

Because you can never do that. You can certainly start your own business one day, but it won't be one of the things you mentioned. You should focus on creating a life for yourself first. Having a business to run seems to be an extremely low priority for you right now.
OP- you can't do any of the things you noted. They are not one man gigs. They require tremendous financial capital, business strategy and are huge multi person corporations, not work at home enterprises. You can certainly be self employed in the computer industry, you just have to figure out where you would fit in and where to get the needed training.

You are completely daydreaming.
How else will I ever make a lot of money?
