This startup is letting anyone start their own ISP business so they can provide a better alternative to Comcast or AT&T

Necto, a startup which was recently accepted into Silicon Valley incubator Y Combinator, wants to make it easy for users to set up their own Internet service provider. While the type of network Necto is using isn't anything new, the company has a different business model it hopes will set it apart. Rather than charge customers for the service directly, the startup is searching for so-called operators to run private-label ISPs. Those operators are responsible for the up-front cost of the equipment, attracting customers, setting pricing, and everything else that goes with running a small business. They just pay a service fee to Necto for the software and services that keep the network running. And the company takes a cut of the revenue when customers start joining.
