Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Network service providers own the transcontinental high-speed backbone networks that carry internet data traffic. Regional telephone and cable companies may own some trunk lines, but not typically at the same speed or scale as network service providers. ISPs are primarily responsible for providing access to the internet for individual users or businesses, and do not typically own backbone networks. Coaxial cable is a type of physical medium that can be used to transmit data, but it is not typically used for transcontinental high-speed backbone networks.
