An Internet Service Provider (also known as an ISP or even as an LAP, internet access provider)
is a firm-that offers subscribers access to the internet
1) A basic Internet Service Provider (ISP) will buy a connection and bandwidth to an internet
backbone in bulk and move that connection over one (or more) of many different data
transport mediums, such as coaxial cable ("Broadband cable"), phone line (Dial-up, ISDN,
DSL, etc), UTP, or fiber optic, to name a few.
2) They provide e-mail, DNS, Newsgroup and other services to entice customers to join.
Some services, such as e-mail and DNS, are so common, they are considered to be part of
the "bare minimum" that an ISP should provide.
3) Educate their customer on services that can improve their lives accessible to the internet
4) This internet service provider maintains large runs of cabling and maintains network
services in order to transfer and deliver web content to those paying the subscription fee.
