Abstract
Cyberspace is not wires, cable and microwave, but it is an experience, in
which computers and their contexts are available to users of any participating
computers, anywhere in the world. It can be viewed under two main divisions:
external cyberspace and internal cyberspace. External cyberspace is the vast
collection of data and expertise available in the world outside, through
electronic networks i.e. Internet and databases. Internet comprises thousands
of networks lying allover the globe in different countries which can
communicate with each other using Internet protocol. The authors describe
the Internet connectivities in India through YSNL, DOT and DOE, by
mentioning the types. Internet succeeded in' the U.S. because there is a
systematic and sustained growth in interlinked networks of computers,
whereas in India such interlink is not achieved so far.
