The Internet • Levels
– National (ISPs, telecom networks, service providers, NIC, etc.) – Regional (Regional Registries) – Global (Different technical bodies, commercial entities, public policy
nowadays) – Numerous bodies involved, all with respective expertise, respective
responsibilities, respective interests. • Issues associated with the Internet
– E-commerce, Taxation, Content, Cultural diversity, Spam, Security, Financial transactions, Data protection, E-education…..
• Everybody owns, and is responsible for, the Internet. (...) The Internet
• Community involved in the Internet has expanded since the Internet’s evolution.
• ICANN started as an effort to transition something purely under US control to the global community
• The model seeks to encapsulate the environment of the Internet – it is a living organization – it is not static, and is designed to be noisy and address differences of opinions.
Domain Names and IP Addresses
• Domain names are the familiar, easy-to- remember names for computers on the Internet
• - e.g., kcom.biz, icann.org, nic.org.gh • Domain names correlate to Internet Protocol
numbers (IP numbers) (e.g., 98.37.241.130) that serve as routing addresses on the Internet
• The domain name system (DNS) translates domain names into IP numbers needed for routing packets of information over the Internet
The Internet’s DNS
• The Internet has a unique DNS system in which many partners are involved
• What comes with that?

What's so special about the Internet?
17 May 2001 - World Telecommunication Day The Internet: challenges, opportunities and prospects
The advent of the Internet has been variously described as being as important for society as the development of the personal computer, the telephone or even the printing press. (...) For those who have started to use the Internet, and have gone beyond the initial frustrations associated with using any new technology, the Internet can do all these things and more.
(...) Barriers to Internet commerce are to some extent the same as those for Internet use in general.
