You want to start a competitive ISP these days?   Make sure you:

investment in tracking opt in, opt out, privacy policies)
File the mandatory FCC 477 filings twice a year with detailed information on 
the geolocation of all of your customers and service area.
If offering VoIP service file your 499-A and Quarterly 499-Q’s with the FCC

(probably need a lawyer for this too..)
Pay the lawyer to write your “Terms of Service” so that you have at least some 
chance of surviving the lawsuits
Implement your CALEA plan and file that paperwork with the FBI so they can find 
you
Register with the Copyright office so that you can deal with DMCA notices.
Establish your copyright policy and procedures.  Have your lawyer review it.
Make sure you comply with 18 USC 2258A regarding reporting and registration for 
kiddie porn, train your employees
Make sure you have a CPNI policy, training, and report to the FCC yearly

Slap up a Ubiquiti access point and you can now make millions of dollars in 
short order.

I’m sure I forgot a few things like “build your network”, but that’s simple.
