Question about the Internet project in civ4

[Beatie]

The last game that I've played, I was domination and won. But I don't dare to build the Internet project. It says that it gives any tech that two others have to anyone.. does it? My question.. what is the point into building them if your already leading the tech race? I Understand that you need it if your not on top of the tech race.. but mostly it's seems pretty useless to me to build does it? If your build it, your helping others I think. Or those they first need computers to use the internet??? I realy want to know this! I'm confused right from the first time that I've played my first Civ4 game.

I rarely build the internet if I'm the tech leader, but if I do it's to prevent anyone ELSE from building it.

It gives techs learned by 2 civs not to everyone, but to whoever builds the internet.

It woulf probably still be cheaper to capture the internet city.

That sounds very oxymoronic

Isn't the internet a project? Which means it isn't in any city? Like the Apollo Program, or the Manhattan Project?
