The lowercasing of "internet" proceeds apace

The New York Times is following the lead of the Associated Press and decided to lowercase the word "internet". 

“One of our guidelines is prevailing usage — it’s not always to be out on a limb,” said Jill Taylor, editor of the Times’ copy desks. “Now that AP has changed and all of their client newspapers are going to be following that same style, it’s a little more seamless.”

Canadian Press style remains to cap Internet...at least for now.
