Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -This core is made up of individual high-speed fiber-optic networks that peer with each other to create the internet backbone. The individual core networks are privately owned by Tier 1 internet service providers (ISP), giant carriers whose networks are tied together.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -A great deal of support for the Internet community has come from the U.S. Federal Government, since the Internet was originally part of a federally-funded research program and, subsequently, has become a major part of the U.S. research infrastructure.
