Answer 1

Answer: Wireless Internet Service Provider(WISP)

Step-by-step explanation:

People can access internet when they are connected through the access points or hot spot. However for such a connection there must be a internet service provider(ISP) who will help to connect the devices to various access points. Since this connection is through the medium of air and no physical connections are involved so this connection is called wireless connectivity.
