Question:

how do you become an isp

Answer:

Well, one way would be to sign up with a 'virtual ISP" wholesaler, like dialupUSA (http://www.dialupusa.net/).... but I need to caution you that starting an ISP - especially in 2004 - is a high risk venture. Dialup is shrinking a lot as people move to cable and DSL. The ones still left are trying to survive by cutting prices to the bone, which leaves little room for a startup company to get going. You could find that the wholesale cost to you per account is higher than what you get from your potential customers.

Another way (sort of) is to join an affiliate program like surfbest or gct http://1.connectto.net/affiliate_b.php

With those programs, you don't "own" the customers that you find to sign up, but you get a monthly commission for as long as those people remain a customer.
