Origins of the Internet
Early 1960s
U.S. Department of Defense funded research to
explore creating a worldwide network
In1969, Defense Department researchersconnected four computers into a network
called ARPANET
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s Academic researchers connected to ARPANETand contributed to its technological developments

Growth of the Internet
In 1991, the NSF Eased restrictions on commercial Internet activity
Began implementing plans to privatize the Internet
Network access points (NAPs) Basis of the new structure of the Internet
Network access providers Sell Internet access rights directly to larger
customers and indirectly to smaller firms andindividuals through ISPs
