HOW TO START YOUR OWN ISP

Are you now wondering why more people don�t join in and start their own ISP
business? After all, it seems like a no-brainer considering how much potential for
returns this market niche has.

Well, it only takes a few minutes of looking through customer complaints about ISPs
online to realize that most areas are being monopolized by their ISPs.

This tweet is a good example of that:

I hate .@CoxCalifornia internet because they can�t fix my dropping signal. A tech
came out, said it was fixed and bailed before testing. It�s not fixed. I also hate
them because they�re the monopoly ISP in my area so I literally have 0 choice.

So what�s the main issue?

To start with, you will need a slew of government permits to even think about
laying down fiber-optic cable to start providing internet to any region. And doing
so ultimately costs a lot of money, manpower, and requires a lot of time before you
can turn a profit.

You will need:

To buy internet capacity from reliable transit providers

Investors who are willing to put in a lot of money and wait years before they see
any meaningful returns
Aggressive marketing to take a massive chunk of the market from the incumbent
provider
A colossal team of staff to deal with all the customer complaints and issues
An army of lawyers to protect the company from frivolous lawsuits meant to put you
out of business
To illustrate just how big of an undertaking this is, Google Fiber cost an
estimated $84 million to connect 146,000 homes in Kansas City and an estimated $11
billion to go nationwide.

It is no wonder, then, that the project slowed down.
