No one person or organization owns the "Internet." The Internet is just a whole bunch of computers connected to each other. The "World Wide Web," which refers to content on the Internet, is mostly public. There are different organizations, such as ICANN, that handle various aspects of organizing the Web and holding it together; and there are 13 top-level DNS servers on the planet.
