This is from memory (1996 !)
Basically your client could become a virtual ISP.
You buy the services you require and use your branding.
The beauty is lower start up costs.
Also when they add new services and products you can immediately offer these to your customers.
+
You select a company who provide a local rate number for your customers to use. 0845 ---------
Call costs:
1/3 goes to telephone company
1/3 goes to the ISP
and your client keeps the other 1/3.
As pay as you go dial up is unpopular,
you also offer unmetered and ADSL services via the company.
You can brand the welcome packs/ guides with your logos.
This is from memory so may be out of date !

Thanks for the help chaps.
Yes I'm ure it is a busy market, but my soon to be client has a captive audience and reckons to have found around £800k in business if he can ofer them an ISP service.
A VISP sounds just the job, I'll rush off and tell him - for a slice of the action of course!!!
OOh.... 360 spider or DB9??

Captive market sounds ideal. I almost (as ever!!) had a similar thingy, I was working with a high street company and proposed putting ADSL into all of thir high street branches around the country, around 1500 in total.
Had I of pulled that one off, the 911 or Maserati would have been mine.
That is how I got my contact, turns out my bro in law does this sort of thing, strange the things you learn at a family piss up.
Anyway as I say, should you need pointing drop me a line.
