I’ve never been ‘internet researcher’ but I used to 
be ‘global head of commercial internet strategy’ when I was 
at (at the time) the worlds biggest ‘isp’. 

Previous to that I was at British Telecommunications who have 
a large research facility at Martlesham Heath in the UK and 
there I’m sure there were entire departments called internet 
research and room-on-room of people called internet 
researchers – the kinds of stuff done in the labs ranged from 
basic research into things like protocols (resulting in RFCs 
etc) all the way up to commercial applications of technology, 
and, pause – futurology, shudder.

BT labs home page is here: http://www.labs.bt.com, I’m sure 
their PR people would be happy to help if you were interested 
in job titles and stuff there.
