Frederic says, "For your information, your ISP does not own the Internet. No one owns the Internet, and no single person or organization controls it. There are, however, organizations that oversee and standardize what’s going on the Internet and assign Internet Protocol addresses and domain names.

They do not own the Internet. It’s certainly not Rogers Communication or Bell that have a right to charge fees to download content on the Internet."[ezvancouver - Vancouver Blog]
