the capital I meant the public Internet - nothing to do with countries -
just that this was the global, publicly accessible Internet.
"internet" meant a private network that used IP technology.

I always thought that Internet with capital "I" meant the Internet between
countries, whilst the internet with a lower case "i" is referred to by the
press as an intranet within a corporate structure. Both run IP but within
different environments.
Just my 2 cents.........
