Wait a sec :) So the info I sent you about RIPE and Germany wasn't useful to you at all? :(
I didn't receive any such email, sorry. Try resending it if you still have it ? @ Everyone else: thank you for the useful information. I didn't mean to come off as being bratty with my competition notation, it was meant as a bump to the posting and not an insult at anyone. More info: yes, I was planning on having some co-lo sort of stuff, maybe running a dedicated server provider. However on my own IP space, and a good method of getting bandwidth of cheap. Stuff like paying 5€/GB makes me feel sick.

Thanks for clarifying.

Hmmmm. Me thinks that's a no go. You are entering an incredibly stiff competitive space. If you do have some magic pixie dust, I would sell it to the highest bidder. :) (I do believe people were seeking pixie dust in the 444 thread if I recall correctly). Not to be snide, but what makes you think you have something that will let you break into the colo market against a huge assortment of players? (ref the lots and lots and lots of money response). You'll need some hefty capital to attract customers. Plus if you can only compete on price, the established players will just cut costs to match you. That's all my opinion of course. -- Charles N Wyble charles@knownelement.com @charlesnw on twitter http://blog.knownelement.com Building alternative,global scale,secure, cost effective bit moving platform for tomorrows alternate default free zone.

That's not outside the realms of possibility, especially if the sender was using OpenPGP. Hushmail does many odd things with its implementation (e.g. still no support for PGP/MIME or even SHA-2). Regards, Ben
When we needed an ISP in Yakima back in '95 we found a rich guy in Seattle, got him to hire an old SunOS geek and an illegal Englishman, and a very small space on the 19th floor of the Westin. Then we talked him into putting his first POP in Yakima where he would have immediate paying customers. He was tired of using broken UUCP email for his trading company. That was our "hook". That ISP founded what is now SIX, so not all was lost. joe@wolfe.net -- Joe Hamelin, W7COM, Tulalip, WA, 360-474-7474 On Fri, Sep 16, 2011 at 6:41 PM, Ben McGinnes <ben@adversary.org> wrote:

Whoa. How strange. I actually *own* that book...but then, I'm old, and crotchety, and know what ISIS is (yes, I love saying that). That said, one oh-so-brief word of advice to Mr Hushmail, and it's accurate, from YEARS of experience, and will hopefully be taken seriously. First step, before you follow any of the others, is to make a business model. Second is to find a venture capitalist group, and convince them that you have your ducks in a row, and plan to make them (and yourself) rich. Otherwise, don't give up your day job. Not being remotely cruel, here (and I could be, and I'm good at it). If you aren't spending someone else's money, you need to have plenty of your own, and I'd bet you don't. I suspect you would be shocked at the amount of money a startup similar to what you're proposing would take. Here's a clue; the number will have at least 7 digits (US Dollars). It's always about money. So it goes. -- "Democratic nations must try to find ways to starve the terrorist and the hijacker of the oxygen of publicity on which they depend." Margaret Thatcher
