Commercialization of the Internet

Commercialization of the internet means that people, companies, and organizations buy or rent space on the internet so that other people can buy or use their products and services. For example, you can buy things on websites, companies can advertise their products, and people can create and share content. All of these things involve someone using the internet to pay money or exchange something like products or services.
