Kādēļ mums internets pieejams bez maksas un kādēļ jau drīz tas tā varētu nebūt
When Tim Berners-Lee was at university he built a computer with a soldering iron, an old television, a processor and some TTL gates. Ten years later, while working as a computer programmer he saw an opportunity to build a system that would facilitate sharing and updating information among researchers. He makes his invention sound simple. “I just had to take the hypertext idea and connect it to the Transmission Control Protocol and domain name system ideas and – ta da! – the World Wide Web.”

Berners-Lee made his idea available freely, with no patent and no royalties due, therefore ensuring it became adopted as the universal operating system for the web. Without Berners-Lee, it’s likely the internet would not have become such an open model.
