Wow! That’s some piece of trivia! I thought Google or yahoo would be in there…
It’s interesting that all of these names are corporations or independent businesses. The internet was started as a government project, and then adopted by academia before it ever became mainstream– it’s odd that we don’t see that represented here.

Internet was invented by CERN in the 70’s. As a way for scientists to communicate with each other… if they had an idea how big it’d get. However, compared to what else they discover over there I don’t think they care so much about it nowadays..
can you put any citation of your resource?
thanks.
