Who Owns the Internet?

Who Owns the Internet?

No one actually owns the Internet, and no single person or organization 
controls the Internet in its entirety.

There are many organizations, corporations, governments, schools, private 
citizens and service providers that all own pieces of the infrastructure, 
but there is no one body that owns it all.

There are, however, organizations that oversee and standardize what happens 
on the Internet and assign IP addresses and domain names, such as the National 
Science Foundation, the Internet Engineering Task Force, ICANN,  InterNIC  and 
the Internet Architecture Board.
