Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The commercial use restrictions on the Internet were lifted in 1995, which allowed companies like AOL and CompuServe to become popular services. The World Wide Web is a part of the Internet, but the lifting of commercial use restrictions applied to the Internet as a whole, not just the web. Wide-area and local-area networks are types of computer networks but are not related to the lifting of commercial use restrictions on the Internet.
