Who is the ISP's interent dealer?
Looking for the plug to cut out these middlemen.
Discussion
These guys figured it out
But seriously, do ISP's have a family recipe that they use to make it. What's the sauce?
There is a “backbone” that ISPs tie into. For details read how NYC mesh did it, and talk to them.
I vaguely remember reading how folks started their own rural ISP, although I cant find that article/website
Hhhm, maybe I should dig some holes to see if my property has some internet springs 🤣
Talk to the people who are tracking the work, or have done the work
Man is this interesting 🧐 nostr:npub1aeh2zw4elewy5682lxc6xnlqzjnxksq303gwu2npfaxd49vmde6qcq4nwx have you connected with these guys?
No, haven’t heard of this.
Still an ISP I think but look into Cogentco, they’re pretty big
Tier 1 ISP's are the Internet backbone, they transit the most traffic and have the most connections.
Think HE, Cogent etc
But where is/ what is the fountain head of "the internet" ?
There is no source it's just a bunch of companies who are connected together to form the Internet.
Then you also have ARIN/RIPE/APNIC these organisations control the allocation of Internet numbers in each region.
