Abstract

Provides a broad view of the role of an Internet service provider (ISP) and the factors to be considered before entering the ISP market. Describes the Internet/ISP scene within India and discusses the configuration of local, regional and national level ISPs, and the supporting infrastructure. Identifies success factors. Concludes that though many companies entered the nascent ISP business in India due to deregulation, many of them are unlikely to survive in the longer term.
