We Knew It Existed - The Official Definition of The Internet

On October 24, 1995, the Federal Networking Council met and decided that the “Internet” refers to the global information system that:

1. is logically linked together by a globally unique address space based on the Internet Protocol (IP) or its subsequent extensions/follow-ons;
2. is able to support communications using the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite or its subsequent extensions/follow-ons, and/or other IP-compatible protocols; and
3. provides, uses or makes accessible, either publicly or privately, high level services layered on the communications and related infrastructure described herein.

Oh. Thanks for that.
