How will i start an ISP. I see DFA has open access and I know I will do good in our city. Any help, what do I need. Where will I get it?
 
You need a fake adress, a couple of fake employee names and a couple of accounts you can share between customers.
 
Make friends with Zuma and the Gupta's they could help with everything!
 
You need to swot up until you know enough not to have to ask anyone.

Ya but... if someone start their own ISP you get everything internet related for free then I do not have to pay another ISP for services....not?

I think that business model may be patented already by OW :D
 
Mmmm..how hard can it be?
- A data center rack
- Ports to all local ISPs and transit to the international ones
- Connectivity with a fibre provider to your users or another last mile provider
- IPs with Afrinic
- Licenses to make use of it all

Did I forget anything? Oh yeah, some Prestik for when you have to keep something together.

Rackspace in multiple locations, core routers, network cards, BNGs, DNS, SMTP servers, IPConnect ports, multiple international links, peering agreements, packet managers, caching servers, provisioning servers, radius servers, load balancers, and, and, and...as well as config, testing, and management. Replicated across IPC points. Then alternate last mile services that require different configs, switches, network cards, provisioning etc and separate rackspace and routing for POPs and aggregation nodes for layer 2 services...

You forgot the most important part. He needs a large amount of capital investment before he can even consider doing the rest.
