The image below shows the location of the largernetworks that inter-connect with each other and serve individual, local ISP’s (Internet Service Providers) as clients. Thelocal ISP’s connect to one of the larger networks and are then able to provide nationwide and worldwide connections. SaltLake City is in a fortunate geographic location sitting astride the major east-west Internet corridorE C O N O M I C D E V E L O P M E N T C O R P O R A T I O N O F U T A H 031209 3
