What Does It Take To Be An ISP?

Hi,
What does it take to start running internet businness around a neighbourhood? Like the equipments and also cash? Anyone, help out.

You need to get a link up that can provide you with equipment from overseas. These will usually be second hand pcs dumped by the government. People can purchase them for cheap. About the cash, maybe you can hook up with a few friends who can invest with you. i do not know how much it costs but most people start on a small scale then build up.

Here are a few links that can give you a better picture

Becoming an ISP demands on your scale, target and medium u want to transmit. You can provide Internet services using BROADBAND SATELITE (This involves setting up a earth station otherwise known as OPERATION CENTRE, hence this is quite tooooo EXPENSIVE ). secondly, u can offer internet services by using A DIAL-UP CONNECTION to connect your client for home or commercial uses. lastly, you can be an isp by using a RADIO WAVE INTERNET CONNECTIONS. they will all do well depending on the speed capacity. stay cool guys
