Taking advantage of net neutrality (IF INSTALLED)

You can rent the towers from existing providers already and start providing your own internet without limits. 
I bet most people would go for your services as you don't limit them, gaining you a substantial market share.
I think that's definitely possible but I wouldn't be surprised if laws/policies change to counteract this method. If net neutrality passes I think no matter what we're all going to be fucked.

I think this is perhaps a quick way to the top. Wish I was an American, I would've done this.
how much do you think the towers would cost? im sure its not as simple as just renting it really ?
I'm not a businessman, I'm a business, man.
You really think they'd let you do this?
Obviously couldn't do this lol. Trump would be on it.

Trump can't do anything, because net neutrality. Providers can choose what they want to do.

I'm not sure but I'm sure you'd need some serious cash for it.

Yes.
This would be a lot more difficult than you might think. I've looked into this sort of business for years and it requires a lot of capital to get into.

For starters, who do you think you're getting your bandwidth from? The same companies you're trying to circumvent.

Indeed it does require a lot of capital. 

I assume the companies would careless as they're receiving a steady and big costumer.

Not if they know what you're doing. They're going to receive less profit selling to you than selling directly to consumers. You'd have to do it in an area where it isn't economical for them to expand to, such as offering wireless internet in a farm town.

I'm quite certain that they would, they do here in The Netherlands as well.
