Key ingredients: ISPs, telephone networks, routers, private networks, company networks (LANs & WANs), servers and stand-alones, workstations, mainframes, computer websites, intranets, homepages, open & public databases, university networks, multinational networks, corporate networks and still more routers, routers, servers and routers doing the work of arranging and guiding the traffic.
The Internet
is like a huge network of networks; servers, computers, mainframes, websites,

anything and anybody might be reached, read, listened to, looked at, copied
or manipulated depending upon various safety measures, technical equipment, user
literacy and aims or goals involved.

Look at the way Telia in Sweden sits on all the resources one way or the other. Satellites, as a replacement and improvement to some of the existing "earth-bound" telephone networks on the ground, will most certainly become one of the major future steps in the "upgrade" of the whole Internet that sooner or later is bound to happen.
