Internet
1. With a lower-case "i", any set of networks interconnected
with routers.
2. With an upper-case "I", the world's collection of
interconnected networks. The Internet is a three-level
hierarchy composed of backbone networks, mid-level networks,
and stub networks. These include commercial (.com or .co),
university (.ac or .edu) and other research networks (.org, .net)
and military (.mil) networks and span many different physical
networks around the world with various protocols, chiefly the
Internet Protocol.
Until the advent of the web in 1990, the Internet was almost
entirely unknown outside universities and corporate research
departments and was accessed mostly via command line interfaces
such as telnet and FTP. Since then it has grown to become a
ubiquitous aspect of modern information systems, becoming highly
commercial and a widely accepted medium for all sort of customer
relations such as advertising, brand building and online sales
and services. Its original spirit of cooperation and freedom
have, to a great extent, survived this explosive transformation
with the result that the vast majority of information available on
the Internet is free of charge.
While the web (primarily in the form of HTML and HTTP) is the
best known aspect of the Internet, there are many other
protocols in use, supporting applications such as {electronic
mail}, chat, remote login and file transfer.
There were 20,242 unique commercial domains registered with
InterNIC in September 1994, 10% more than in August 1994.
In 1996 there were over 100 Internet access providers in the
US and a few in the UK (e.g. the BBC Networking Club,
Demon, PIPEX).
There are several bodies associated with the running of the
Internet, including the Internet Architecture Board, the
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, the {Internet
Engineering and Planning Group}, {Internet Engineering
Steering Group}, and the Internet Society.
