Who owns the internet??????????

Question

Need to know asap

Answer 1

No one actually owns the Internet, and no single person or organization controls the Internet in its entirety. More of a concept than an actual tangible entity, the Internet relies on a physical infrastructure that connects networks to other networks. There are many organizations, corporations, governments, schools, private citizens and service providers that all own pieces of the infrastructure, but there is no one body that owns it all. There are, however, organizations that oversee and standardize what happens on the Internet and assign IP addresses and domain names, such as the National Science Foundation, the Internet Engineering Task Force, ICANN, InterNIC and the Internet Architecture Board.

Answer 2

this may be a stupid discription but the internet i kinda like the mall. its free to go to the mall and visit all the shops and only pay for services or items you want. About the only difrence is the mall is a building that IS owned by someone, the internet is an open space without the walls where people put there shops and info booths. LOL..i hope this makes a little sence.

nobody owns the internet. it is a public domain. the internet is just a bunch if interconnect networks. for example, yahoo's company owns this website and everything related to it. but they don't have anything to do with google. but together they and a whole bunch of other websites make up the internet. does that make sense?
