The new millennium is going to be a boom era for the Internet. This industry has been doubling in size every 6 months for the last 6 years.

As major communications companies such as Telstra, Optus, One-Net, and AAPT have been formulating their Internet Strategies an explosion of smaller firms have begun to offer value added services to the growing internet market. It is this value-added market that is still largely untapped and will provide the best returns in the new era. One of the key offerings in this market is the hosting of a web site for companies not willing or not able to provide their own point of presence on the Internet. This business plan focuses on this service as the primary service offering for Pacific Technologies International Pty. Ltd.

This plan is for the creation of a single Point Of Presence (POP) Internet Service Provider (ISP). The services that will be provided to the local calling area include:

• Web site hosting
• Domain E-Mail accounts
• Domain Name Service
• FTP Service
• High speed reliable Internet connectivity at 28.8 Kbps

The launch of this enterprise can be accomplished in as little as six weeks from ordering equipment and lines. New subscribers will be added at the rate of 100/month after the initial ramp up.
