@Lolita_Magnum i have spent most of professional line as a banker, from retail to wholesale, including treasury activity for a large corporate. Problem is not tech or finance(initially no one finances) core problem lies with structure of these local ISPs they are somewhat connected to political parties, housing societies charge as one time entry fee, you have to make some political donations when visible, and many more things which cannot me mentioned here but there is scope in this tremendous scope in this market. We can connect and exchange our thoughts, we might end up with something concrete to start with.

Starting an ISP is a lucrative business venture, especially if you're from an area without pre-existing fiber infrastructure. First do a market study to see how many people over how large an area are interested for your service. Try to get local panchayat/municipal body support first. It goes a long way. Then contact the electricity discom companies. They'll provide permission to use their poles for fiber lay out in exchange for a fixed monthly/yearly fee. Then ask tier 1 ISPs for all existing POPs and plan your fiber route accordingly. Set up your own switch so that u are able to converge multiple ISPs and provide choice to your customers over the same fiber. Setup good monitoring and alert systems so that your service parameters are top notch.

@markiv You are right; it'd be easier to start a business for enterprise customers than retail.
Alternatively, you can deploy a core and then outsource the last mile to LCOs.
You can have strict guidelines on the revenue sharing, like how the last mile must be maintained or hardware used.
You can also add additional incentives based on the number of incidents generated from that particular LCO.
Initial capex would include buying dark fibers, hardware, colocation, ports at an exchange, and transit.

No, you don't. When you apply for an ISP license, by law you are required to install these and keep logs of your customers.

but not as bad as what jio does tho?
i mean airtel has a pretty good non dpi experience i guess thats what my friend told me

not exactly all the logs, session logs, nat logs are mandatory. rest is taken on sample including destination IP, there is no directive from govt to implement DPI, if some ISP is using it that is breach of privacy to collect customer behaviour
There's no directive from the government to implement DPI. It is expensive and serves only two purposes - data mining and surveillance. The economics of data mining makes sense, but how would that of surveillance make sense unless it is state-sponsored?
Your DoT issued telecom license does mandate session logs, DNS queries, and IP logs per user - for lawful intercept purposes.
DPI, as implemented by Jio, for data mining for a paid service, which they don't even bother to justify as subsidised and hence the DPI, is pure evil.
