Internet

The first usable prototype of the internet came in the year 1960s with the invention of ARPANET or Advanced Research Projects Agency Network. The ARPANET then adopted IP/TCP in 1983, 1 January, and then later researchers started to assemble the “networks to networks” and now it is called the Internet.

TCP/IP or Transmission Control Protocol or Internet Protocol is a communication protocol that is used to connect different devices or computers. TCP/IP helps computers to communicate with each other via the internet by compiling a packet of data and sending them to the correct location.

Internet is a network which will help the users to read data and information which is stored in other devices or computer. Every device has it’s own IP address, so when a user searches any IP address or domain of any particular computer then he can read data and information on that computer.

Now, question is who is the owner of the internet?. Well, now I will clear this.

Who is the owner of the internet

The answer is no one is the owner of the internet. The internet is nothing but a connection between two computers. The Internet helps to transfer the data or information from one computer to another computer through a network. Big organizations like Jio, Airtel, ATT, etc will install fiber optic cables through seas and cites to build a network.

ICANN (Internet Corporation For Assigned Names & Numbers ) is a nonprofit organization that is the top-level authority. It decides the domain name like .com, .org, .in, etc. It gives the right to organizations like GoDaddy to sell domains. But ICANN is not the owner of the internet.

We all store our data in the servers and the internet will connect our server with other devices or computers or servers and the network is created by organizations like Jio, Airtel, ATT telecom companies, etc. When a user requests any website by typing the URL the users get information through the internet. Suppose the server is in the USA and the user is from India, then the information will be transfer through fiber optic cables, and from an antenna or mobile tower which is located near the user’s home, the user gets information from that tower.
