15 - INTERNET ADDRESSES

Introduction

In the 1980s the Internet expanded at a rapid rate, as colleges, research companies, and government agencies began to connect. Network growth has exploded in the 1990s. Estimates suggest that message volume increases 20 percent each month. In 1994, the government removed itself from the day-to-day control of the net, leaving that to a growing group of regional providers.

Most Internet addresses end with the following extensions:

.com: U.S. commercial businesses
.edu: college/university sites
.gov: governmental bodies
.int: international bodies (i.e., NATO)
.mil: military organizations
.net: firms that run large networks
.org: nonprofit organizations and other miscellaneous groups.
