Internet cannot be used for business purposes. It is mainly for research and educational purposes. It is also heavily used by system administrators all over the world, as well as developers of software, to exchange ideas and post problems which they cannot solve (and yes,...there is a lot of personal
stuff that flows back and forth).
You could use the internet for e-mail gateways, but I wouldn't trust
sensitive business items (or stuff that you can't afford to lose during a transmission).
