The Geographic Expansion of Atlantic.Net Internet Services

Abstract

The Industrial Revolution in the United States came to a close sometime between the late 1980s and early 1990s when it was replaced by the Information Revolution. During the 1990s the nation's information infrastructure began to undergo a massive restructuring, which continues today. Whole new sectors of the telecommunication industry that previously had not existed grew to enormous importance in a matter of a few years. The Internet Service Provider (ISP) was one of them. Internet Service Providers give businesses and individuals access to the Internet, and thus both email and the World Wide Web.
