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.
