BOb, Sen. Stevens came out with a speech designed to rally against Net Neutrality because he was bought and paid for to do exactly that.
In the end he only demonstrated his ignorance. And yes, I cannot imagine anyone with even a slight familiarity with the internet mistaking the word "internet" with the word "email".
From his public statements, I can easily imagine that Stevens thinks the internet works through tin cups and strings, switch boarded by cookie monsters.
