Because ISPs are the Internet service provider.
ISPs can be started by just about any individual or group with sufficient money and expertise. In addition to Internet access via various technologies such as dial-up and DSL, they may provide a combination of services including Internet transit, domain name registration and hosting, web hosting, and colocation.

Because the small dishes pick up free programming send out by many channels...they send this programing purposely free...
ISP (internet service providers) just don't do that...they provide the capital so you can send/receive information packets through your phone line /cable connection. indeed, you can also have internet beamed to you with small dishes (just not for free)

There are a few locations that broadcast free wireless internet or WiFi and if you're near one of them you may be in luck of picking it up. Otherwise, just like you pay for cable or satellite TV, you'll have to pay an Internet Service Provider for access. You can get Internet through your normal phone line, through a digital phone line as DSL of Fiber Optics, through your cable TV or through a satellite dish.
Good Luck!

ISP = Internet Service Provider
You need an ISP.
You need a cable company to watch TV.
You need a cellphone company to have and use a cell phone.
It's the same for the internet.
