Short for Internet service provider, an ISP owns and operates all of the
equipment (telephony, digital cable, servers, etc.) that allow you to
connect to the Internet from your home or office. Most ISPs sell access to
their services for a small monthly fee, which you can access by "calling
in" or "connecting to" your ISP's computer network. Examples of large ISPs
in the United States are Earthlink, America Online and NetZero.
