It's about time: internet, not Internet

Iv'e never quite understood why why were supposed to capitalize "Internet", and wherever possible I've lowercased "web", to the constant chagrin of copyeditors. So I'm thrilled that Wired has annoucned that it will no longer capitalize internet, web, or net. Why?

The simple answer is because there is no earthly reason to capitalize any of these words. Actually, there never was.
