It's badly worded, but could he mean "a medium acting or being used as an environment"?

Look up the difference in meaning between "medium" and "environment".

I don't believe that fivejedjohn needs a dictionary to distinguish the two words. The problem is that you have not advanced the discussion with your attempted paraphrase, teechr.

@teechr: The Internet is not a medium.
@Mister Micawber: With respect, there are differences between the words, "internet" and "Internet". And I think he meant the Internet.
