From the Paper:

"An intranet is technologically defined as a network connecting an affiliated set of clients using standard Internet protocols, or an Internet protocol-based network of nodes behind a firewall, or behind several firewalls connected by secure networks. It is logically "internal" to an organization, although physically, an intranet can span the globe as long as access is limited to a defined community of interest. In other words, an Intranet is any site based on Internet technology that is placed on private servers within an organization. Furthermore, because these sites are typically run on internal networks rather than the Internet, bandwidth isn't as much of a problem, so sound and video can be added without hurting performance."
