Technically anyone can be a provider, as long he/she has a fast Internet connection. However, it does not make any sense to be a provider if you do not have a public to serve.

The best providers are those who are located near to an ideal environment, which would be places where people frequently go with their laptops.

Restaurants

Hotels and Inns

Any airport store

Bars

Of course, you don't need to own a restaurant or hotel to provide wireless access to their clients. If you are located near to any of these places, you can set up a wi-fi Access Point and their clients will be able to connect to your HotSpot.

Today, there are some affordable Access Points in the marketing that are able to send their signals as far as 0.7 miles. See Hardware Requirements for a list of products that you can buy to increase the range of your HotSpot.
