ISP
ISP stands for Internet Service Provider, a company
that provides access to the Internet. For a monthly fee, the service provider
gives you a software package, username, password and access phone number.
Equipped with a modem, you can then log on to the Internet and browse the World
Wide Web and USENET, and send and receive e-mails. In addition to serving
individuals, ISPs also serve large companies, providing a direct connection
from the company's networks to the Internet. ISPs themselves are connected to
one another through Network Access Points (NAPs). ISPs are also called IAPs
(Internet Access Providers).
