What is an "Access Point"?

Daniel - Your question is vague. I looked in 3 computer dictionarys and serached one Web site and I found no definition to your "Access Point".
In jargon, an acronym, Access Point is the end point that is achieved when several navigations are performed, thus leading to a desired end result. Like going to a Web Site, clicking links, perhaps a Radio Dot or two, then clicking Enter, and Shazam, an Acces Point to a Window you were seeking.

If this answer only "points" you, best you give some particulars of where you found the phrase "Access Point".

what is an access point in networks terminology? (i was reading about networks and it said something about access points)

Interconnect points. The interconnect points, also called Internet exchange points, are essentially the points where two or more networks intersect to communicate and share data. Networks are not required to connect to an interconnect point, but they must have an indirect connection to an interconnect point if they want to have access to the rest of the Internet.

In the United States, there are 11 major interconnect points, also referred to individually as Network Access Points (NAPs), Metropolitan Area Exchanges (MAEs), or Federal Internet Exchange (FIX) points. These interconnect points are the result of strategic Internet development by the National Science Foundation (NSF; an independent government agency responsible for the promotion of science and engineering programs in the United States), entrepreneurial foresight on the part of for-profit businesses such as MCI WorldCom, and the communications needs of the federal government. Additional interconnect points exist in Europe,Asia, South America, and Africa.

How's that, Daniel?
