INTERNET in Russian

[Marissa Polsky]

I can officially tell you that there is no official rule regarding the word Internet.  From what I have seen and read, in written language it is a non-declining masculine noun (if it is even written in Russian at all - many publications put the word Internet in Latin characters, or in quotes), but in spoken language, the accent falls on the "Net", and it can be declined.  

There exists some newer "technical" dictionaries that may be able to answer this question.
