A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a network that interconnects users with computer resources in a geographic area or region larger than that covered by even a large local area network (LAN) but smaller than the area covered by a wide area network (WAN). The term is applied to the interconnection of networks in a city into a single larger network (which may then also offer efficient connection to a wide area network). It is also used to mean the interconnection of several local area networks by bridging them with backbone lines. The latter usage is also sometimes referred to as a campus network.
Examples of metropolitan area networks of various sizes can be found in the metropolitan areas of London, England; Lodz, Poland; and Geneva, Switzerland. Large universities also sometimes use the term to describe their networks. A recent trend is the installation of wireless MANs.
The term "metropolitan area network" or MAN refers to a network of computer or other devices, or local area networks of computers, joined together over a geographical area such as a city or group of buildings. These networks can be used to connect smaller local area networks to the internet.
Metropolitan Area Network. A network spanning an area the size of a city. It's not used very much though. LAN and WAN are more common (MAN is between them in terms of size)
LAN, WAN, MAN, And Local Area Connections.
A wide area network (WAN) is a telecommunication network that covers a broad area (i.e., any network that links across metropolitan, regional, or national boundaries).

No, the Internet is considered a Wide Area Network (WAN)
It is a Metropolitan Area Network
LAN<local area network> , WAN<wide area network> , MAN <metropolitan area network>, Backbone network.
A WAN usually crosses multiple city, state, or national boundaries. A MAN is confined to a single metropolitan area.
Examples for Metropolitan area network is a network of fire station, newspaper/media company, a chain of community colleges
