It was an ISP. It was bought by Verizon at some point. The name comes from UUCP which is Unix-to-Unix Copy, a protocol for sending commands/data/files from one computer to another (wherein those computers are of Unix I'd imagine). I recall the name UUNET being dropped in a TV commerical that had Michael Jordon in it. I thought of it today.
