I found this definition in the INTEROP Book of Carl Malamud. The Internet (note the uppercase "I') is a network infrastructure that supports reasearch, engineering, education, and commercial services. The word internet (with a lowercase "i") refers to any interconnected set of substrates (provided, of course, they are running the internetwork protocol IP) Panagiotis Tsigaridas -----Original Message----- From: Eric Brunner [mailto:brunner@world.std.com] Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2000 8:30 PM To: ietf@ietf.org Subject: Defining "Internet" (or "internet") The Swedish legal definition (Patrik provided the pointer) may not be the only one which attempts to define what "Internet" is, fixed or broken, er, "mobile". Anyone else with a normative legal reference, your favorite jurisdiction or someone else's, please drop me a line. I'll summarize to the list. Eric
