I need alot of help on this issue. I have always been convinced that there is a high demand for dedicated carrier links for companies and individuals that traverse a country's borders or that are even international. The problem is, for a small comapany to offer this, it needs extra help in the sales aspect. Something that well established companies have settled in quite nicely, but a startup seems impossible to achieve without some financial backing. My main question is this. How does a telecom professional, in today's climate start and run a successful business without heavy financial kick starts - something that is very common in the telecom world!

Well, in today’s market there’s allot of resellers, from what I understand you are not aiming to acquire a carrier’s license? the only deference between the providers is the professional experience, because at the end you’re using some else’s infrastructure, how I see it to start a successful business you need to take a good look at what you can offer “at a lower competitive price” and what does the market demand and that’ll be you and your companies experience to, I say start with an outsourcing/business consultancy and offer your carrier service or even better “integrated solution” as a side dish ;)
