	Online service provider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The traditional dial-up online service differed from the modern Internet service provider in that they provided a large degree of content that was only accessible by those who subscribed to the online service, while ISP mostly serves to provide access to the internet and generally provides little if any exclusive content of its own.
		An (A) As used in subsection (a), the term service* provider means an entity offering the transmission, routing, or providing of connections for digital online communications, between or among points specified by a user, of material of the user's choosing, without modification to the content of the material as sent or received.
		Online services like Prodigy and AOL developed their online service around a GUI and thus unlike CompuServe's early GUI-based software, these online services provided a more robust GUi interface.

		Online dating services are a lucrative and rapidly growing industry that continues to draw concerns about the manner in which its members conduct themselves.
		However, an "online relationship service provider" is defined as "a person or entity engaged, directly or indirectly, in the business, for profit, of offering, promoting, or providing access to dating, relationship, compatibility, matrimonial, or social referral services principally on or through their Web site or otherwise through the Internet."
		All of the proposed measures require the service provider to conduct searches for felony and sexual offense convictions from a national database containing at least 170 million criminal and sexual offender records.

	DWT, LLP \| Practice Areas: Communications, Media & Information Technologies
		Although the conditions of each limitation differ, the essence of the DMCA is that a service provider may not be liable for monetary damages for copyright infringement caused by third parties as long as the service provider does not know about the infringement, does not participate in the infringement and acts in good faith.
		Two definitions exist for the term "service provider." In the context of transmitting and routing, "service provider" is defined as an entity which offers transmission, routing, or connections for digital online communications for materials sent by Users which are not modified by the entity.
		System caching is defined by the DMCA as the practice of retaining, for a limited time, material that has been made available online by a person other than the provider, and then transmitted to a third party at his or her direction.

	Comcast Online Service Provider Deployment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Although Comcast provided the last mile of infrastructure as well as billing services, this service was largely provided by a third-party supplier called Excite@Home.
		In the Summer of 2001, the Online division of Comcast Cable Communications Corporation began experimenting with how to create and offer their own portal and online services (such as e-mail).
		Comcast was in a tight position; they needed to move swiftly and decisively to become a full-service online service provider (OSP), but the project to date had not gone smoothly.

	Copyright Corner: Online Service Provider Liability (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The goal of the amendment is to exempt from liability the OSP that acts merely as a conduit for messages by using an automatic process for routing, providing connections, or storage.
		Thus, if the OSP does not: (a) initiate transmission of the material, (b) select the material to be transmitted, (c) select the recipients of the material, (d) store the material longer than is reasonably necessary for the transmission, or (e) modify the content of the material, it is not liable for copyright infringement.
		The online service provider liability exemption will be problematic for all types of libraries as they strive to make materials available to users in digital format and create finding tools and hyperlinks.

	Research: Online Service Provider Assessment Project
		The first online service provider surveyed by the OSPA project was America Online (AOL) and the first topic area was lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) content.

		With GSI as its partner, the provider was able to meet all the objectives of the project, retain control over the data, and benefit from unparalleled customer support.

	What is online service provider? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: OSP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The term has had some currency in distinguishing Internet access providers that have their own online independent content, such as America Online (AOL), from Internet service providers (ISPs) that simply connect the user directly with the Internet.
		In general, the companies sometimes identified as OSPs (in this usage) offer an extensive online array of services of their own apart from the rest of the Internet and sometimes their own version of a Web browser.
		Connecting to the Internet through an OSP is an alternative to connecting through one of the national Internet service providers, such as AT&T or MCI, or a regional or local ISP.

	What is an Online Service Provider (OSP)? (Bowdoin, Copyrights)
		An OSP, as defined in Title II of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), is a "provider of online services or network access, or the operator of facilities therefor." Bowdoin's computer network operations and Internet connections are consistent with this definition.
		They are "[a]ccess providers [that]…combine computer processing, information storage, protocol conversion, and routing with transmission to enable users to access Internet content and services." Also, ISPs generally provide direct access to Internet services and provide customer support, often available at all times.
		Status as an OSP protects Bowdoin College by providing a mechanism for limiting or reducing legal liability arising from digital copyright infringement claims.

	Review of online service provider liabilities
		Division 2AA of Part V of the Copyright Act 1968 - the limitations on remedies against carriage service providers introduced on 1 January 2005 (i.e., this year!) as part of the implementation of the US Free Trade Agreement.
		In its present form, this division provides limited relief from some remedies for copyright infringement, but only to "carriage service providers".
		The review could be quite important as, apart possibly from Telstra's lawyers and those of Optus, there may be considerable doubt that anyone knows what a "carriage service provider" is. The Copyright Act in s 10 helpfully says it has the same meaning as in the Telecommunications Act.

	General Internet FAQ
		Yes, but the sophistication of the service is more like the early telephone services of the 1880's than of the telephone service of the 1990's.
		Internet access is a service provided by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) which allows a client to attach their local networks or even a single machine to the ISP's network, which is then in turn connected to the global Internet.
		Current technology provides for monitoring data connections in a similar fashion to "tapping" a voice telephone line, however, the legality of this has not been decided.

	Can an online service provider (OSP) be held contr...? -- Chilling Effects Clearinghouse
		Answer: Under section 512(c) of the DMCA an OSP will not be held liable for instances of copyright infringement so long as the OSP satisfies certain statutory requirements.
		In trademark law contributory liability exists when a manufacturer or distributor intentionally induces another party to infringe a valid trademark, or when it continues to supply products to a party that it knows, or has reason to know, is using the products to engage in trademark infringement.
		Collectively, these few cases suggest that an OSP could be found contributorily liable for acts of trademark infringement.
