Need to look at the time line...Actually ATT/Bell initially REJECTED any thought of the web a few e-w colleges had already formed vs low band even then telco lines.

It was at a very late date near 80's they came on board... and then hit use for 6 cents a min off peak(evening) rates most what you would call ISP today charged then because they did.

And without looking it up Bell may have created it for the schools that explored it but never ran with it as they did and if so Bell in fact BIG time 20 yr fumbled it.

And infact Bell had their chance still as Edu ARPANET but but late 80 became (Pres Reyguns Star Wars) DARPANET (defense nat sec BS) it took a Scandanavian to free the world to the WWW for all for free.

And especially conservatives Al Gore is much mosquoted maligned for I created the internet...but what they did do is take the D out of DARPANET and made it open to the world everafter. After Berners-Lee crearted the WWW with no compensation to himself free to the world.

Gore was a little more not attributing greedy

Yeah well its all still UNIX, LINUX OSX no one really owns though APPLE wants to pretend they do.... guess they bought the Brooklyn Bridge from someone.

Well they certainly own OSX, but not ALL other aspects of UNIX

Apple acts as if they own EVERYTHING, even when it's clear it was ALREADY invented.
