PLEASE HELP IN MY ASSIGNMENT

Commercial Internet Expansion

1. Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for internet before 1995 were that internet was to be used only for the following:

a) scientific research

b) military research

c) university educational purpose

d) NOT for any commercial use.

2 In 1995 commercial activities in internet became acceptable after the NSF (national science foundation), stopped funding the NSFNET which was the internet Backbone. This resulted to the AUP (acceptable use policy) that had been placed by the NSF being uplifted and hence allowing commercialization of the internet.

3. Carriers providing internet service are the ISP’s (internet service providers) e.g. is the AT&T.

4. The carries providing internet service (ISP’s) need to be interconnected so that

They can form a network where their servers can be accessed by clients from other different ISP ‘s. without this interconnection then internet can’t be worldwide.

5, ISP’s interconnect at points or locations called Network access points (NAP).

6. No!, E-commerce did not collapse after dot com failure of 2000 and 2001, infact the e-commerce understanding grew, and better e-commerce systems rolled in. this led to stable and big e-commerce systems like Amazon and E-bay.
