The capital for an ISP is surprisingly low. The main problem is getting a physical connection to your customer's house. And that's such an obvious legal minefield that no networking nerd wants to do it.
- bell-cot 1y agoThe capital can be low. Vs. the article notes that these two guys have 75 miles of fiber installed (to 1,500 potential-customer homes) and 15 local employees. Vs. currently monthly revenues of about $10K. Yeah, obviously these guy's long prior experience - pulling fiber for other ISP's - was another critical cornerstone of their ability to go from idea to build-out.
