Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) connect users to the internet and provide e-mail accounts. Telecommunication giant AT&T, COMCAST, and AOL, (subsidiary of Time Warner) are the industry leaders and account for nearly half of all U.S. Internet subscriptions among them. Some Internet Service Providers such as America Online and Microsoft Network (MSN) create original content and so combine the roles of ISP’s and content providers. Some other ones are EarthLink which are purely ISP’s in that they provide access but very little in the way of content aside from portal pages.
Content Providers are often made by in home design departments. One of the most infamous would be Disney, and now Amazon. What they have are in house staffs that continuously and regularly update already running and set up websites. This updates the site daily so that viewers and users can be up-dated and no be viewing old material from years ago.
