    You need a USP

    Some mates of mine set up an ISP about 7 years ago. Not making a great amount of money but surviving.

    They have dedicated space in a VERY secure data centre (they know a man etc) and that is their selling point, to actually create a data centre costs a lot of money.

    Too many 'become an ISP in a day' offers out there to supply mediocre or non niche services.

    Obviously IMHO, but to compete you need something special.

    I think there is actually a company called "Plan B" that does this kind of stuff already. Will attach a linky if I get round to finding it.
