Ok, I'm sure everyone is over this thread.

But I do agree there's a purpose for the small-i
internet as opposed to the large I. Which BTW is based
on IP not TCP/IP - the transmission protocol is
something else, not necessarily linked to the Internet
(Purdue University was running an IP not TCP/IP
version in the late 1990's).

Here's how I use the small-i internet in my thesis:

"This thesis uses "the small i-internet" to express a
growing set of networked technologies that work
through several infrastructures: the internet, mobile
telephony, multi-user networked digital games, and
upcoming interactive digital television.  These
networked technologies, often called the 'new media'
or media ecologies provide linkages to a rich set of
theoretical perspectives that connect audiences,
communicative media, and the subsequent development of
local and global policies."

Cheers (no one cares but I'm almost a Dr.!) Denise
