In 1990, Internet was the US government asset used by the military and universities. Few years later, "the public was generously allowed access to it". In 1995 or 1996 it was privatized. (Nowadays I read complains that "US has too much control over the Internet, and that this is unfair and unjust" :-) Alex.
