this looks pretty interesting! i plan to take a closer look after work, but thought i would mention it now: it may be worth a look through the NANOG (north american network operators group) archives (https://nanog.org/nanog-mailing-list/list-archives/) for information around your question if you havent, and/or posting your question to the NANOG mailing list. there are many very friendly people who have experience running ISPs of all sizes.

(or whichever operators group best fits your area. i only subscribe to NANOG, so cant speak to the activity/friendliness of the other groups. you can find a pretty comprehensive list here: https://nanog.org/resources/organizations-our-community/)

Subscribed! I am very new to things here since it's barely been a 1.5 months since I touched this area, so many of my questions have probably been answered. I will search around and post a question if can't find an answer.

I plan to take all the feedback I can this week, and work on them on spring break.
