I agree with your analysis - anyone can have an intranet, but there is only one Internet.

>On the UT news, there is one about a company that thinks it is more logical to write Internet in lowercase (internet). This doesn't make much sense to me (although I did have a tendency to do the same, at the beginning...). Proper names should be capitalized, and the Internet is the name of the global network. It is the Internet, not an internet. Now, if we started to work with different large networks, and call each of them "an internet", the situation would change - but that is not the case now.
