Cool sutff, I wish I had the capital to do something like this. Although given how hard the existing ISPs are fighting against municipal internet here I wonder how I'd fare.

Generally it's all the same kinds of things that any other business struggles with - making your product something people actually want, letting people know it's available, finding the right employees, etc.

Being a telephone company made it easier to permit and working with the groups to permit it became possible.
