You need two essential things (Score 1)

First, you need to check the ISP FAQ at http://www.amazing.com/internet/

Then you need to get the book "Isp Survival Guide : Strategies for Running a Competitive Isp" by Geoff Huston.

Everything else that you need can be discovered from these two starting points.
