Internet Service Provider

Internet Service Provider, commonly abbreviated as ISP is an organization that gives computer networks and devices access to the Internet and the Web.

Internet Service Providers also proved other services such as domain names and web hosting. Internet Service Providers have recently come under fire because of their agenda to degregulate their industry. This has been a controversial move because it would allow ISP's to give more bandwidth to those who pay more, which could leave those with less money having very slow access to the Internet. Without regulation, ISP's would be able to charge users for accessing each website.

The regulation of ISP's is commonly referred to as Net Neutrality and has been the center of debate for many Internet enthusiasts.
