In 1992 a small firm starts selling ordinary people a connection to the internet over the telephone line, for a monthly fee. A provider is racks of modems, a leased line and a support desk that explains what the internet is. From 1998 providers give access away and take a share of the call charge instead, and broadband ends dial-up within a few years.
