Owning your own hardware if not enough; if it was that easy it wouldn't be a big deal.
You still need access to the network, meaning people who are willing to peer with you. It'll be a big problem if a major player says "we'll cut you off if you peer with Parlor, directly or indirectly".
You also need access to domain names, payment providers, maybe advertising networks.
