1. I think your confused here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address That will explain what an IP Address is!
2. I think you mean a domain for web hosters, not IP, unless you mean Intellectual properties, which makes no sense, lol. And an ISP often connects you to their own, in house network. If that's not the case, then the ISP is either co-owned, or they pay a lease agreement to use the network structure in the area from the company that owns it.
3. Regional Internet Registries Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) are nonprofit corporations established for the purpose of administration and registration of Internet Protocol (IP) address space and Autonomous System (AS) numbers. RIRs also work together on joint projects. A list of all RIRs is provided below with links to lists of countries within each region. There are five RIRs: AfriNIC Africa, portions of the Indian Ocean APNIC Portions of Asia, portions of Oceania ARIN Canada, many Caribbean and North Atlantic islands, and the United States LACNIC Latin America, portions of the Caribbean RIPE NCC Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia http://www.arin.net/community/index.html
