The problem with "voxinternet" is we need a proper genitive form of
"Internet". Fortunately, "netum" exists in Latin as a gerund, so "neti"
and thus, "Interneti" could serve as our genitive. (Although technically
in Classical Latin, genitive gerunds are typically altered into the
gerundive, adjectival form for literary purposes. But since we're using
Internet as a proper noun, we should probably skip the rule-of-thumb.)
VoxInterneti.*
