The "e-" prefix was borrowed from the trade press. The current trend
is to attach the "e" and claim that their hardware/software solution will
enable you to conduct "eBusiness" through the use of "eCommerce."
"IAP," or Internet Access Provider, was an acronym taken from
nanog's website and refers to small / medium size ISP's.
