    The middle bit is the part that is daunting to me. How do you jack in without the intermediary ISP. How does the upstream ISP jack in? Where’s the source?

      You’d either have the bulk of your infrastructure in a colo or carrier hotel, or you’d hopefully be able to host your own data center somewhere where there’s fiber run to a nearby carrier hotel.

      Then it’s a matter of getting the signal to your transceivers.

      You’d probably be setting up to peer with big tier 1 ISPs (in the US, these are Lumen, Cogent, AT&T, GTT, Verizon, or Zayo) and/or tier 2 ISPs (such as Hurricane or Comcast). You may even want to peer with other services such as Amazon or Netflix or Microsoft.
