What is an ISP or Internet Service Provider?
An Internet Service Provider (such as America Online (AOL), CompuServe, or MediaOne) is a company that provides access to the Internet. The ISP typically gives users a software package, username, password, and access phone number. With a modem, users can then log on to the Internet and browse the World Wide Web and send and receive e-mail. ISPs can serve both individuals and large companies, providing a connection from the company’s networks to the Internet.
