Detailed explanation-1: -Like the global telephone network, no one individual, company or government can lay claim to the whole thing. However, lots of individuals, companies and governments own certain bits of it. Every telephone pole, cable, satellite, router, datacentre, etc. is owned by someone.
Detailed explanation-2: -No one person, company, organization or government runs the Internet. It is a globally distributed network comprising many voluntarily interconnected autonomous networks. It operates without a central governing body with each constituent network setting and enforcing its own policies.
Detailed explanation-3: -No company or government can claim ownership of it. The internet is more of a concept than an actual tangible entity, and it relies on a physical infrastructure that connects networks to other networks. The concept is similar to being a room full of people who all speak different languages.
Detailed explanation-4: -The network was operated by the National Informatics Centre. The first publicly available internet service in India was launched by state-owned Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) on 15 August 1995.
