Musing: Where does a network live?

Question: Where does a corporate network conceptually live?

Somewhere there is a cable outside the building and then some magic occurs between that cable and when I ping "mycorporatedomain.com". So where does the network live? What are they layers? Where is that cable and what is that first appliance to connect to that cable? What is the fascinating history of those appliances? What monitors the appliance?
