DNS filtering service for Service Providers?

I work for a smallish ISP, we've built our own internal DNS filtering service which we offer as a service to our customers (blocking security threats/content filtering etc.). We're really happy with it and we've spent quite a lot of time building it and creating all the infrastructure around it to pull in from content lists/security threats quickly, we find it's a good added service for customer who don't want a fully managed firewall (for which we use Fortigate).

We were discussing yesterday if what we've built could be useful for other ISPs? I know there are services out there like DNSFilter/SafeDNS, but our service is definitely tailored to our own ISP/MSP use case. With some tweaks we could offer create an "on-prem" style product that providers could run inside their own networks, where it pulls it's lists from a managed central service? We could also offer it as a hosted product which may be useful for smaller ISPs?

Anyway, it's just an idea - we're happy with what we have but would like to know if this is of interest to anyone. Thanks in advance!
