Maybe the consultant is confusing "licensing" with IP address allocations from ARIN. Curtis Starnes Senior Network Administrator Granbury ISD 600 W.

I would suggest getting a new consultant .. :)
What Dennis said.
Lol got me! There is nothing that I know of that you have to "license" to become a ISP in the US of A. . You do have to fill out Form 477 twice a year. :)
But only if you provide: - facilities-based broadband services, and/or, - provide wired or fixed wireless local exchange telephone service - provide interconnected VoIP service - provide facilities based wireless telephony (see https://transition.fcc.gov/form477/WhoMustFileForm477.pdf) If you provide basic dial-up services, or wireless Internet over unlicensed channels - there's no licensing requirement whatever. As Dennis said - first get a new consultant. Look for one who can work through your service model - what you're going to be selling, to whom, using what technology(ies) - and work from there to whatever licenses (if any) that you require.
