shared among multiple users thus saving cost.
Internet Access Sharing: You can purchase a single Internet connection and share it among
other computers in a network instead of purchasing multiple Internet connection for each
computer. This is very commonly found in Internet café (browsing centres), schools, colleges,
companies, etc.

Answer - There are some general rules and etiquettes to be followed while chatting. They are
almost the same as those that apply for emails.
1.  Messages should be short and to the point.
2.  Always introduce yourself by name if your screen name doesn’t reflect it.
3.  Always ask if the other person has time to chat first - regardless of how important you think
what you have to say is, it’s not going to be well received if the recipient is busy.
4.  In a business environment, know exactly what you want to discuss.
5.  Typing your messages in uppercase is extremely rude - it’s considered shouting and very
aggressive.
6.  Give people time to respond - Multiple questions sent to a recipient before they’ve had a chance
to answer can seem more like an interrogation rather than a conversation.
7.  Wherever possible, give the person you are communicating with your undivided attention. It’s
not just a sign of respect, but if you have multiple conversations happening or are allowing
other issues to distract you, you may miss an important point in the other person’s messages or
lose the gist of the conversation.
8.  It’s important to properly end an IM conversation - you may think the chat is over, but the other
person may not. While you’re off doing other things, they may be sitting there staring at the
screen waiting for further communication from you!!
