Based on the analysis of numerous scientific articles found that the overall legal position in accordance to approaches to the management of public relations related to the use of Internet technologies, is currently not developed. The main reason for the prevailing today in the legal theory of ambiguity in the regulation of social relations related to the Internet, based on totally unreasonable single object of the research reviewed and the Internet as a telecommunications subsystem information infrastructure and the Internet as a means to implement a variety of functions of different activities. This conceptual methodological error leads to the formation of a single, but heterogeneous object of relationship, which makes the daunting task of forming a consistent theory of legal regulation of social relations connected to the Internet. The paper gives the author's definitions of "Internet" and "Internet network". Based on these definitions it is clearly defined the complex object of the legal relationship, which consists of two parts: the Internet as a means of implementation a variety of functions of the various activities and the Internet as a telecommunications subsystem of information infrastructure. Based on the legal relationship of objects, defined the subject of regulation. In the author's classification this is the information relations and information-infrastructure relationships. Information-infrastructure relationships inherent to the relationship directly connected with the network of the Internet as a telecommunication network. Suggested in this work the definitions of the object and subject of the regulation create a systematic framework for the formation of a consistent legal theory of social relations regulation, which connected with the usage of the Internet and Internet technologies.В работе даны определения терминов «сеть Интернет» и «интернет», на основе чего определены объект и предмет при правовом регулировании общественных отношений, связанных с использованием сети Интернет и интернет-технологий
