(Uniform Resource Locator) URL is an object on the Internet or an intranet that resides on a host system. Objects include directories and an assortment of file types, including text files, graphics, video, and audio. A URL is the address of an object that is normally typed in the Address field of a Web browser. The URL is basically a pointer to the location of an object.

Virtual ISDN	This is an alternative way for a customer to get ISDN service. A customer can be
	serviced out of a nearby central office which has ISDN capabilities but not charged
	the extra mileage charges as they would with a foreign exchange. The phone
	company does not add on charges because the costs are recouped from the large
	volume of customers serviced out of the CO. A customer usually has to change
	phone numbers if the CO where they receive their POTS service becomes ISDN
	capable.
WAN	Wide Area Networks link geographically dispersed offices in other cities or around the
	globe. Just about any long-distance communication medium can serve as a WAN
	link, including switched and permanent telephone circuits, terrestrial radio systems,
	and satellite systems.
Warez	A term that describes Pirated Software on the Internet. Warez include cracked games
	or other programs that software pirates distribute on the Internet.
