Hello NANOG'ers,

I hope this isn't too far off-topic:

I'm wondering, does anyone have any recommendations for a lawfirm
that will help a newbie through the process of becoming a CLEC? I
understand that it can take years, and am prepared for that.

Specifically in San Jose, California.

I'm trying to determine (by trial and error) the theoretical
minimum cost of running a tiny neighborhood FTTH +
very-short-range fixed-point wireless ISP for residences that
don't have fiber for no good reason at all.

Have gear, some funds, conflict-of-interest exception, and a
smidge of clue. Even have the first run of fiber already pulled
(via quickly-cancelled AT&T Dedicated Internet). Just need
https://clec.att.com/ access and somewhere to put my gear on the
other end of the line. I think.

Cheers.
