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.
