Internet and Intranet

Internet is widely used to refer to the wide area network (WAN) that extends into many countries. It supports many services such as the World Wide Web, News, and Electronic Mail. If you need to gain access to the Internet, contact an Internet Service Provider (ISP). An ISP will be able to advise you on the services that you need, and the best way of connecting to the Internet to allow for future expansion of your organization's needs.

An Intranet can be thought of as an organization's private Internet. It can provide many of the Internet's services on a corporate Local Area Network (LAN) or WAN. It enhances the distribution of information within a company by providing a forum in which executives, departments, and employees can communicate quickly and freely.
