INTRODUCTION
DEFINITION-An Internet service provider is an organization that provides services for
accessing, using, or participating in the Internet. Internet service providers can be organized
in various forms, such as commercial, community-owned, non-profit, or otherwise privately
owned.
HISTORY-The Internet (originally ARPAnet) was developed as a network between government
research laboratories and participating departments of universities. Other companies and
organizations joined by direct connection to the backbone, or by arrangements through other
connected companies, sometimes using dialup tools such as UUCP. By the late 1980s, a
process was set in place towards public, commercial use of the Internet. The remaining
restrictions were removed by 1991,[1] shortly after the introduction of the World Wide Web.[2]
During the 1980s, online service providers such as CompuServe and America On Line (AOL)
began to offer limited capabilities to access the Internet, such as e-mail interchange, but full
access to the Internet was not readily available to the general public.
In 1989, the first Internet service providers, companies offering the public direct access to the
Internet for a monthly fee, were established in Australia [3] and the United States. In Brookline,
Massachusetts, The World became the first commercial ISP in the US. Its first customer was
served in November 1989.[4] These companies generally offered dial-up connections, using the
public telephone network to provide last-mile connections to their customers. The
barriers to entry for dial-up ISPs were low and many providers emerged.
