Could word "Internet" be at risk ?

I was wondering if there is ever any likelihood of the word
"Internet" ,on its own , as a domain being construed
in anyway that would give rise to a claim ?. I see
there are many many companies using the word
"internet" with another word but few on its own.

Thanks for any input .
