Tower to Profit

How to Start and Grow a Wireless Internet Service Provider Business in Rural America

By: Richard Johns

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Most people have never heard of a Wireless Internet Service Provider. But in rural America, they are lifelines. And for entrepreneurs who know how to build them, they are cash machines. Tower to Profit is the complete guide to launching and scaling a rural WISP business from scratch. This is not theory. This is the real playbook for someone who wants to build fixed wireless towers, sign up subscribers, and create a recurring revenue business that generates reliable monthly income in markets the big telecoms have abandoned. You will learn how to evaluate your market, source and install tower and radio equipment, get your FCC registration and spectrum rights, price your service and sign up your first 50 subscribers, manage network reliability and grow without burning out, and how to build the business toward a profitable exit. Rural broadband is one of the great infrastructure gaps of our time. The government is throwing billions at it. The big players are ignoring small markets. That leaves enormous opportunity for a scrappy operator who knows the terrain. This book will show you how to become that operator.
