I would be obliged for your advice. I wish to set up a company that would provide wifi for a number of communities I have in mind in the UK. Please could you provide some advice of how I would do this, what hardware I would need, ball-park costs to be expected, and with whom i would need agreements to get access to ISPs.

I hope to provide a pay as you go service where persons would be asked to provide their credit card details before online before they obtain access - is this possible or would I need to go down the route of vouchers.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
