In today’s world, the internet service provider (which also known as ISP) market is characterized by a big diversity of offered services and business connections where it differs from the traditional telecommunications market. The diversity of Internet Service Provider market interactions and services is reflected by the companies that involved (ranging from niche market ISPs to global players).
In this project, we evaluate the Internet service market and also the different types of ISPs that exist. We also identify the subset of Internet Service Provider (ISP). The term of Internet Service Provider (ISP), is commonly found in literature with a lots of different definition. A common recognition of the Internet Service Provider by Norton (2002) is that “an organization that sells access to the Internet”. Meanwhile, Huston (1998) defines Internet Service Provider as an access provider that provides various value-added services such as bulletin board services, email and so on. According to Greenstein (1999), ISPs are selling basic (smallband) Internet access and some optional services that fall into five categories which are basic access, frontier access, networking, web page design and hosting.
In common, internet service provider (ISP) is a company that provides internet connections and services to customer. In order to provide access to internet, ISPs also provide software packages such as browsers, email accounts, personal website or home page. Through network access points, public network facilities on the internet backbone, ISPs are all connected to each other.

The history of the internet takes us back to the pioneering of the network and the development of capable technologies. The explosion of the internet’s popularity of the 1990’s was large and dramatic, boosting our economy and then helped to bring it into a major recession. One can only hope that the explosion becomes organized and slightly standardized in the interest of the general public. Despite all of these conjectures and speculations only time can tell the future of the largest network in the world.

The key changes taking place in the online industry in 1995 are the introduction of the Microsoft network and the coming of use of the Internet World Wide Web which offered alternative channels to content providers that provided more control over their offerings and potentially higher revenues. Microsoft Network took only a 30% commission fee (versus 80% taken by AOL from its content providers’ revenues) from its content providers and offered providers the option of choosing any format and font to display their content (versus the standard screen displays offered by AOL and its rivals). Also, the per-hour pricing policy offered by Microsoft was superior to AOL’s. With the development underway of a way to provide on-line currency collection, the World Wide Web offered huge incentives for providers to start publishing material on the internet by their own means without having to go through a middle-man such as an online provider. Both of these offerings do not bode well for AOL’s future prospects due to the huge incentives for customers and content providers to switch to these alternative distribution channels.
First up, the Internet. The Internet is a vast collection of different networks that use certain common protocols and provide certain common services. In this section, they go into great detail about the history, like how it started as a military project, and even talk about how users gain access to the modern version through ISPs (Internet Service Providers). For our second example, the author writes about third-generation mobile phone networks, or 3G. Initially deployed in 2001, this systems offers both digital voice and broadband digital data services. One benefit to this system is mobility which comes from the ability of data to be handed off from one cell tower to
This service will soon be further enhanced by picture messaging libraries, video clips and video telephony (seeing the person you're calling) and improving download speeds. Another service is the Vodafone Mobile Connect Card, which enables customers to access their normal business applications on a laptop when out of the office. Such services add value to the product, and high profile effective promotion will help sell these services to existing and new customers.

When the Internet was inaugurated to Malaysia by the Malaysian Institute of Microelectronics Systems (MIMOS) in 1987, it is for research and education purposes (Ramadass and Osman, 2012). However, it is later commercialised in 1990 and made available to the public in 1992 as JARING (Joint Advanced Integrated Networking) became the first Internet Service Provider (ISP). In 1996, the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) is launched and contributed to the development of information and communication technology (ICT) industry. At the same time, TMNet came into the picture as the second ISP and improved commercial and residential Internet access (APNIC, 2004). The application of modern technologies such as fibre optics like High Speed Broadband (HSBB), wireless transmission like WiMAX and Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks, and satellite services, gave a further boost to internet coverage and speed.
Usage of internet has increased dramatically. In March, 2000, there were 304 million internet users, which were 5% of Global population; in March 2013, this number has grown to 2749 million, which were 38.8% of Global population (“Internet Growth Statistics”). By 2020, the number of global internet users is expected to quadruple to 4 billion, and most of these new users will come online using multiple devices (Nukala). Internet is so attractive because it provides luxuriant information and enjoyable entertainment to people. It seems that the internet coverage will keep expand.
The Internet has become a key ingredient of strenuous and busy lifestyle. ‘Internet’ has become the central-hub for communication, explorations, connecting with people or for official purposes. Resultantly, Internet growth has led to a plethora of new developments, such as decreased margins for companies as consumers turn more and more to the internet to buy goods and demand the best prices.
As the internet increases its grasp on foreign markets, it was a natural progression for one of the most successful companies to be born from the internet to expand its operations into these fledgling countries. While the internet usage in foreign markets such as Japan, Europe, and China are just beginning to take shape, the number of new internet users in these markets is expanding at a much greater rate than in the United States.
In this paper I will discuss the mechanisms and process of the Internet. The structure of the paper is as follows:
The Internet has revolutionized the computer and communications world like nothing before. The Internet enables communication and transmission of data between computers at different locations. The Internet is a computer application that connects tens of thousands of interconnected computer networks that include 1.7 million host computers around the world. The basis of connecting all these computers together is by the use of ordinary telephone wires. Users are then directly joined to other computer users at there own will for a small connection fee per month. The connection conveniently includes unlimited access to over a million web sites twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. There are many reasons why the Internet is important these reasons include: The net adapts to damage and error, data travels at 2/3 the speed of light on copper and fiber, the internet provides the same functionality to everyone, the net is the fastest growing technology ever, the net promotes freedom of speech, the net is digital, and can correct errors. Connecting to the Internet cost the taxpayer little or nothing, since each node was independent, and had to handle its own financing and its own technical requirements.
