Who Owns The Internet?

No one actually owns the Internet, and no single person or organization controls the Internet in its entirety. More of a concept than an actual tangible entity,the "Internet" is a physical infrastructure that provides services such as the WWW(world wide web) and connects several networks together.Many organizations,governments, schools, private citizens and service providers own parts of this infrastructure, but no one is a full owner. Standardizing organizations, such as National Science Foundation, the Internet Engineering Task Force, ICANN, InterNIC and the Internet Architecture Board , do exist however. They set protocols such as TCP or Internet Protocol Suite. The  "Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)" is responsible for assigning IP addresses.
