In 1990, Internet was the US government asset used by
the military and universities. Few years later, "the public was
generously allowed access to it". In 1995 or 1996 it was privatized.
(Nowadays I read complains that "US has too much control
over the Internet, and that this is unfair and unjust" :-)
