Re: I tracked down Moon Global I'm a little confused, Deacon. Your business plan doesn't sound bad but you are talking about two different things. On the one hand you're talking about buying accounts from failing ISPs. In the next breath you're talking about getting colo's, DS-3s, etc.. Are you trying to be an ISP, a DLEC, or both?
If you're trying to be a DLEC or both there's a HUGE flaw in your plan. You haven't figured in the cost of migrating the customers over to your colo's. To do these migrations you either have to hotcut the lines from another CLEC's block to your block or order a brand new line. Either of these choices have problems associated with them, take time, money and manpower.
So maybe I missed something. Care to clarify what you're trying to be? If it's just an ISP buying accts then it's fine. If it's more you've got a problem or two.

Anon | Ok...one more time.
Simple concept. Customer circuits are really just loops and virtual circuit identifiers. The loop is ordered by the ISP from the ILEC (in this case Verizon) and the ILEC creates a virtual circuit provisioned to you via a dedicated DS-3 to where ever your equipment is located.
[ISP]---ds3---[LEC]---loop---[end user]
Simple. You provision a single DS3 to backhaul the regional traffic on. 1 DS3 can handle up to 2400 Verizon PVC's. (virtual circuits)
As to Mark Wing, I understand that your opinion is that if you want something done right...you have to do it yourself. The problem is that virtually all of the things that the ISP's are attempting to do have not been done by them before. Its much easier to outsource to the companies that have. Everyone is doing it...just ask Telocity.
And to my good friend Delta2000. People call me things like FRIEND, MENTOR, BUSINESS ASSOCIATE. You are an ignorant individual using inane logic. If I am a predator for attempting to save service for people who were disconnected by offering them the same service at the same price...
Then each and every company that picked up a line from Flashcom or Northpoint should be considered the same. Megapath, Telocity, Covad.net, Verizon...All predators. And who is to say that predators are not needed. In this time of economic uncertainty, many of the larger stronger players will no doubt consume the unstable leftovers.
Be thankful for those predators...they will provide your service tomorrow.
As to my money...I was not responsible for the debts of Flashcom. I worked for them and I did what I could while I was there. That's more than I can say for you.
Go away son....ya bother me.
