'Only 10 institutions in the world delivering higher education'?

Not unless universities abandon the teaching of history, literature, philosophy, politics, economics, whatever etc., or perhaps Thrun is thinking they'll be a gigantic leap forward in developing machine intelligence able for instance to assess students' essays in these subjects. If anyone's seen the slightest evidence that this might happen I'd be more than interested to see it.

Indeed. And not just those subjects. Computers are still a very long way off from judging the correctness of say a human written proof or solution to a physics problem. Even in technical subjects universities will be impossible to replace without major major leaps in AI.
