The Internet

The term internet is derived from the words “inter connection network” meaning the large network of computer networks connecting worldwide computers with the ability to communicate with each other.

The ‘Internet’ developed from the military network of the USA Department of Defense called ARPANET (Advanced research project agency).

In Thailand, The Internet was initially used by Prince of Songkla University and the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in 1987 supported by The International Development Plan (IDP), to communicate with the University of Melbourne by e-mail.

In 1988, Prince of Songkla University initially asked for an internet address “sritrang.pus.th”.

In 1992, Chulalongkorn University connected an internet network by THAINET and NECTEC, and established THAISARN network.
