While teenagers might be surfing the Web constantly, few understand how the information is channeled into their homes or the business that is centered on this activity. Careers with Internet Service Providers outlines what an ISP is and how one is maintained, and illustrates more abstract ideas in its "day-in-the-life" chapter about an ISP. Major portals such as Yahoo! and ISPs such as America Online are discussed, as is the influence of new wireless technology.
