Acceptable Use Policy

When a user obtains connectivity to Internet through a network service provider, he/she must comply to the acceptable use policy of the network service provider. Often the acceptable use policy of the immediate network provider refers to other network's acceptable use policy. It is expected of network users to comply with policies of all service providers when using the network. In addition to the network service provider, the user can set and maintain an acceptable use policy of its own for its user community. Examples of acceptable use policies are included in this paper as an appendix. Examples of Acceptable Use Policy.
