So, in a lot of ways,the World Wide Web is a big virtual city where we communicate with each other in web languages,with browsers acting as our translators.And just like no one owns a city,no one owns the Web;it belongs to all of us.Anyone can move in and set up shop.We might have to pay an Internet service provider to gain access,a hosting company to rent web space,or a registrar to reserve our web address.Like utility companies in a city,these companies provide crucial services,but in the end,not even they own the Web.
