I think this fact is lost from a long time ago, i really don't know who owns them, but maybe you have some ideas.Probably there are many companies that owns a big share of it.

i think that many companies have united their forces and they own the internet :) i think someone invented it, but it was just a small variant of what is now the internet...i think that those companies united their forces and extended that idea and that's how the internet that we know now was born :P maybe i'm not right...it's just what i think :)

nobody owns the internet, an organication called ICANN controls the domain names and IPs.

well all the sites are stored on servers, who has more servers owns the internet:P, and of course there are hacker... that can distroy sites and other tings or steal them so i think they are the really owners of the internet... that is my opinion :P

nobody "owns" the internet, it is run by different companies. I know someone invented the internet, but that person certanly does not own the entire internet. If there was a person that did, they would be quite rich i would imagine
