No one person can own the internet. Many companies sell access and services to the internet, but there is no law against making your own. Earthlink, a very famous ISP, sells just that- internet SERVICE. The internet was developed by two organizations at relatively the same time (American NSA, National Security Agency; european CERN, Center for European Nuclear Research/ Centre Europenee pour la Reserche Nuclaire). CERN is the organization that publicized the idea, but the NSA took responsibility for it. Leave it to Americans to capitalize everything.

About 3 or 4 billion people and a few million companies.
That's kind of like asking who owns the roads on this planet.

The internet is like the ocean. It does not belong or is controlled by one entity. But everybody uses it to some extend.

No one person, company, institution, or government organization owns the Internet. No one source foots the bill for it. No one entity governs it, or even has a controlling interest. The Internet is truly a collaborative, collective enterprise.

no one owns the internet - but Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee, Sir Sam Walker and Robert Cailliau invented the world wide web.
"The World Wide Web was created in 1989 by Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Sir Sam Walker from the United Kingdom, and Robert Cailliau from Belgium, working at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_wide_web
