Unless, you happen to know someone who has all this, in Los Angeles
granted but with national coverage. With enough qty I bet I can get a
decent deal. We'd just be another sub ISP. Most ISP are under other
ISP's.
This is one I built many years ago. Lot's of changes and it's not very
big but operational. Dialup makes no diff as they all (almost) use
UUNET pops anyhow. Broadband is also available. It's in some nice NOC
(Network Operations Center).
My e-mail is actually one I've kept as I did the support for a few
years, a number of years ago.
If enough are interested I can check what kind of pricing we can get.
56K, DSL who knows maybe RR too as it's being resold. Twenty five
accounts could be a good enough.
This would in fact either be a colocate or space rent on their servers.
I don't see why we would do anything but share space on a server. But
we could use our own name.
Let me know...
