Answer 1

Depends on your definition.

The internet is a huge network that mainly connects other, smaller networks.

By itself the internet doesn’t have any kind of service, it’s the end users (yes, companies are also end users) that share resources on it either paid or free of charge.

You could, theoretically, create another huge network that connects other networks and keep it separate from the internet but you would still need people or companies to create content for it, or it would just be an empty network, full of potential but without actual use.
