Take two wireless access points, connect them together, tada, you have an internet…
The thing is “the internet” is really only the sum of its parts, it’s interconnectivity is what gives its intrinsic value.

Or a LAN. Could do a WAN which itself can be interconnected over a wide area. Usually by routing over the internet but you could use something like satellite uplink or miles of dedicated cables.
But the interconnection of multiple LANS and WANS is what would make an “internet”.
So maybe 2 universities joining their own networks would be moving towards a private “internet” but I think we’d still call that a private network or a WAN.
