[70] [71] [72] The first permanent ARPANET link was established on 21 November 1969, between the IMP at UCLA and the IMP at the Stanford Research Institute. By 5 December 1969, the initial four-node network was established. Elizabeth Feinler created the first Resource Handbook for ARPANET in 1969 which led to the development of the ARPANET ...
How satellite internet works. Satellite Internet generally relies on three primary components: a satellite – historically in geostationary orbit (or GEO) but now increasingly in Low Earth orbit (LEO) or Medium Earth orbit MEO) [24] – a number of ground stations known as gateways that relay Internet data to and from the satellite via radio waves (), and further ground stations to serve each ...
The history of the Internet originated in the efforts of scientists and engineers to build and interconnect computer networks.The Internet Protocol Suite, the set of rules used to communicate between networks and devices on the Internet, arose from research and development in the United States and involved international collaboration, particularly with researchers in the United Kingdom and France.
wrote the first full tcp specification in december 1974. with the support of darpa, early implementations of tcp (and ip later) were tested by bolt beranek and newman (bbn), stanford, and university college london during 1975. bbn built the first internet gateway, now known as a router, to link networks together.
An Internet-to-orbit gateway (I2O) connects computers or devices on the Internet to computer systems orbiting Earth, such as satellites or crewed spacecraft. Project HERMES, run by the Ecuadorian Civilian Space Agency, was first to implement this kind of gateway on June 6, 2009.
1999: America Online has over 18 million subscribers and is now the biggest internet provider in the country, with higher-than-expected earnings. It acquires MapQuest for $1.1 billion in December.
Early international collaborations for the ARPANET were rare. Connections were made in 1973 to Norway (NORSAR and NDRE), [34] and to Peter Kirstein's research group at University College London (UCL), which provided a gateway to British academic networks, forming the first internetwork for resource sharing.

In January 1991, the first leased line of 9.6 kbit/s was installed in January 1991 between Delhi and Mumbai. [5] In 1992, all IITs, IISc Bangalore, DOE Delhi and NCST Mumbai were connected by 9.6 kbit/s leased line, 64 kbit/s Internet gateway link was commissioned from NCST Mumbai to UUNet in Virginia in United States.
