ZWS97: If you have been on this site very long, you will note how many other folks asked the same questions that you also ask. How do I start my own company, I'm guessing you want to be a sub for a prime contractor. There is a lot of such opportunities out there in Cable land, however they are not always good and your eager to jump in with both feet might be a bad decision. Your goal should be "to be the prime", that's the only way to make a decent profit, now if your a sub, you would be the one to guarantee the prime a profit, you do all the work, they reap the benefits. I wish you luck, keep safe....all other comments are right....it's a doggy dog world in this trade of OSP construction. MicroMan
