How to begin making my own ISP?

The second thing is that you need to have at least a VAGUE idea what you
want to actually offer.

A DSL ISP is VASTLY different than a Co-Location ISP. 

I'd say you need to sit down and take a long hard look at exactly you
want to do, *then* figure out what you need to do in order to accomplish
it.

I think the question was far too vague.  The first thing you need to
start an ISP is LOTS OF MONEY.

No one replied with any useful information. I guess no one wants
competition on this list? Pretty poor tactic.
