There wasn’t any public internet whatsoever until 1989 (and even then, just barely). The commercial internet as we know it was born in 1991. There had been other online services for a while, but the internet was originally limited to institutions.

”Not much of” implies the existence of some public internet during that period, but there was none at all except for the last few months of 1989, and even then only in one country and with enough limitations that 1991 is often considered the actual birth of the public internet.
