Internet Society's History of the Internet webpage

The Internet Society's History of the Internet webpage is not a service site, but rather an informational resource. The History of Internet webpage provides users with over 30 links to websites -- worldwide -- that provide internet histories. "The Internet Society (ISOC) [itself] is a nonprofit [international] organisation founded in 1992 to provide leadership in Internet related standards, education, and policy. With offices in Washington D.C., USA, and Geneva, Switzerland, it is dedicated to ensuring the open development, evolution and use of the Internet for the benefit of people throughout the world. The Internet Society [1] provides leadership in addressing issues that confront the future of the Internet, and is the organisational home for the groups responsible for Internet infrastructure standards, including the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the Internet Architecture Board (IAB)...

[3] For over 15 years ISOC has run international network training programs for developing countries and these have played a vital role in setting up the Internet connections and networks in virtually every country connecting to the Internet during this time.
