Hi, First of all the topic seems to be inappropriate , well I know but at the time of writing this post I was not able to figure out what it should be called ! Okay , Lets come to the point .I met a person few days back. He was saying that he provides Leased Lines(Airtel,BSNL etc) and Raw Bandwidth(may be wrong term).He told me that we can launch a new ISP or may be a local ISP which will broadcast or share the bandwidth to the user/ subscribers. In brief, he told me that we can become an ISP (like tikona or whatever) by distributing the available bandwidth to the user on wireless like Wi-max and Tikona Wi-Bro. He also told me that it does not require any special efforts or qualification to do the same. According to him, we can purchase certain bandwidth say 20MBPS (Mega BYTE/sec) at a price X/month and we can make our own rental plans like 1mbps or more (mega bit/sec) at Y/month . We only need to pay the rental of purchased bandwidth and nothing else. The plans can be made as per user need and we have the right to allocate bandwidth/FUP and speed required.The bill which the user will play as rental will come to our pocket. As per him, since the communication medium is Wireless, we would require equipment like Transmitting antennas, cpe, routers etc which may cost from 2 lacs or above (he was not sure). The setup can be implemented in a small area. Overall I thought the idea will be great, as in my area(Jabalpur) their is no good ISP. We only have Airtel,BSNL and Tikona(50% Coverage) as a broadband providers and rest are 3G. Now what I want to ask is :-Que. 1 : Is this legal/legit business ?Que. 2 : If it is legit, what will be the estimated cost of equipment ?Que. 3 : Is their any maintenance required which may require more investment ? Que. 4 : Average turnover per month if say we have 500 Subscribers ? Kindly revert with your precious comments. I am very new in this field and require knowledge.P.S. - Currently I am pursuing BE with EC Stream(Final Year) and looking for some job/business opportunity in the communication field. If you guys know some, then please share your views ! Pardon grammatical mistakes if any . Thanks and Regards,Nikhil
