INTERNET ACCESS
ISP's are also referred to as Internet Access Providers (IAP's), who are companies that provide you with access to the Internet. 
 
When you connect to the Internet, your computer dials into a local telephone number, which then connects you to the ISP's computers, which in turn connect you to the Internet.  Whenever you connect, send or receive email, it is all at the cost of a local telephone call.

FREE ACCESS
Some ISP's can offer their service for free, because it's advertisement-sponsored.  They make their money by selling advertising space to companies who want you to see their special offers, etc.  When you surf, an ad banner may pop up or you may receive emails with ads from time to time.
