From the Paper:

"The Internet has been around for quite some time now and the technology has evolved from its infancy where primarily it was used for information exchange and research purposes towards a more comprehensive medium, which caters to education, entertainment and business. Today an email address has become a mundane thing and the Internet has invaded virtually every conceivable domain of interest. Technology has developed considerably to cater to the demands of the bandwidth hungry web medium giving us a wide variety of choice right from the basic dialup service to high speed broadband and even dedicated internet connections. The ever-increasing scope of the web has created a rat race with the different Internet service providers vying with each other to maximize their share in the market. However all this bandwidth jargon has a confounding effect and even people who use the Internet extensively have a rather poor idea of the different technologies involved."
