Online Service Provider An online service provider, in modern usage refers to an entity which provides a service online. It can include internet service providers and web sites, such as the Wikipedia or message board operators. In it's original more limited definition it referred only to a commercial computer communication service in which paid members could dial via a computer modem the service's private computer network and access various services and information resources such a bulletin boards, downloadable files and programs, news articles, chat rooms, and electronic mail services. The term "online service" was also used in references to these dial-up services. The traditional dial-up online service differed from the from the modern Internet service provider in that they provided a large degree of content that was only accessible by those who subscribed to the online service, while ISP mostly serves to provide access the the internet and generally provides little if any exclusive content of it's own. In the U.S., the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act (OCILLA) portion of the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act has expanded the legal definition of online service in two different ways for different portions of the law. It states: *(A) As used in subsection (a), the term service provider means an entity offering the transmission, routing, or providing of connections for digital online communications, between or among points specified by a user, of material of the user's choosing, without modification to the content of the material as sent or received. *(B) As used in this section, other than subsection (a), the term service provider means a provider of online services or network access, or the operator of facilities therefor, and includes an entity described in subparagraph (A). These broad definitions make it possible for a large number of web businesses to benefit from the OCILLA.

Delphi Online Service Delphi was an early Internet service provider that started as a nationwide dialup service in 1983, and in 1992 became the first national commercial service to offer access to the Internet.
Delphi, like ISPs GEnie and CompuServe, was never able to cope with the switch to graphic interface adopted by AOL, which swept past it in the late 1980s. It exists today only as Delphi Forums with access through the Internet.
History:
WOW! Online Service WOW! was an ill-fated online service started by CompuServe in March 1996. Originally thought to be an improved version of CompuServe's software, it was later announced that it would be a user-friendly stand-alone "family" online service. The first release of the program was quite buggy, but developed a small fan base. However, this was not enough and the service was quickly killed, shut down on January 31, 1997. This was not to end WOW's troubles, several class-action law suits were filed, claiming that WOW! was sold to stockholders with false and misleading information.
