Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Nlnet's history started in April 1982 with the announcement of a major initiative to develop and provide network services in Europe under the name EUnet. Stichting NLnet was formally established as a "stichting" (Dutch for foundation) in February 1989. In November 1994 Stichting NLnet created NLnet BV (a Dutch Limited liability corporation) as a commercial operating subsidiary and so incorporated the first internet service provider in The Netherlands. In 1996 the internet provision services company was acquired by UUnet, which had just became a subsidiary of MFS. MFS was acquired shortly thereafter by Worldcom, which then initiated a takeover bid on MCI. The acquisition provided NLnet's former shareholder, Stichting NLnet, the means to transform into an endowment, and fund the development of Internet network technology and associated Computer Sciences research and development. It makes the results freely available to the community in its broadest sense.
