Yes, most definitely, it is necessary. The WWW is at best a subset of the Internet. The Internet is the network/system that the WWW runs on. You have the Internet without the web, as was the case only 4 years ago, for FTP, BBN, irc, email, telnet, usesnet news, uucp, etc. The current lay-misconception that the two are the same is fostered by the high visibility of the Web.
my humble opinion as one employed in the industry.
