Abstract

Embodiments are directed to a computer-implemented method for communicating terms of service for providing internet access. The method includes establishing, using a gateway internet service provider (ISP) processor, a private network communications path between the gateway ISP processor and a client processor over a private area network. The method further includes transmitting, using the gateway ISP processor, data over the private network communications path, wherein the data includes terms of service that must be accepted by the client processor as one condition of the gateway ISP processor providing the client processor with internet access.
