They in turn sell access to their equipment in the form of Internet service as dial-up, cable modem, DSL or other types of connections. The larger ISP’s form the backbone of the Internet.

Editor-in-Chief at TechSpective
I have a passion for technology and gadgets--with a focus on Microsoft and security--and a desire to help others understand how technology can affect or improve their lives. I also love spending time with my wife, 7 kids, 4 dogs, 7 cats, a pot-bellied pig, and sulcata tortoise, and I like to think I enjoy reading and golf even though I never find time for either. You can contact me directly at tony@xpective.net. For more from me, you can follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
