This is pretty cool. I can’t see too many people being able to fund such an endeavor, though. One solution may be coops: for example, my father is part of a coop providing internet access in his area.
Yeah starting an ISP is rarely a one-person project. But usually one person starting the initiative leads to more people joining if there’s room for that (mailing list, face-to-face meetups, etc)
But it doesn’t take that much resources to get started, especially for people who already have machines running in datacenters / internet exchanges.
