- I was just wondering that myself. All OneLook hits state give the Internet as the only definition (apart from one which also has "A connection between a network of Internets (Interplanetary)"). If the term never means the WWW, I'm surprised. — Smjg (talk) 18:12, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
Interplanetary network edit
Umm, does all this interplanetary network stuff really need to be in here?? -- OlEnglish (Talk) 08:07, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
@ OlEnglish and TTO
I think the quotation that TTO has now removed was relevant content showing early use of the word. It may be the first correct usage of the word if you exclude mockery as a valid "meaning". Just because it was a television reference I still found the the information was relevant. If there is no objection in the next 7 days I will reinsert the quotation.
