It is supposed to be when referring to the world wide web, or whatever you want to call it.

If you use it in reference to a private network then it does not need to be capitalized. Don't ask me why.

internet networking
(Note: not capitalised) Any set of networks interconnected with routers. The Internet is the biggest example of an internet.
