The term Intranet first showed up in the mainstream press in a Fortune magazine article dated November 27, 1995, called "The Internet Inside Your Company," by Alison Sprout. The term sprung from an interview in September I had with Sun's Eric Schmidt, in which he used the term "Internet with a capital I" for the larger internet, and "internet with a small i" for internal TCP/IP net. I asked him, ``Wouldn't it be simpler if you just called it an intranet?'' and he said, ``Great idea." Hence came the story which popularazed the term.
