Well, I didn't want to overly confuse the original poster, but yes, a valid point. It's more accurate to say that the IP protocol is what defines the internet, and TCP vs. UDP is the type of connection between two machines "talking" IP.
UDP vs. TCP ->
UDP
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc768.html
This User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is defined to make available a datagram mode of packet-switched computer communication in the environment of an interconnected set of computer networks. This protocol assumes that the Internet Protocol (IP) [1] is used as the underlying protocol.
This protocol provides a procedure for application programs to send messages to other programs with a minimum of protocol mechanism. The protocol is transaction oriented, and delivery and duplicate protection are not guaranteed. Applications requiring ordered reliable delivery of streams of data should use the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) [2].
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0793.txt
The TCP is intended to provide a reliable process-to-process communication service in a multinetwork environment. The TCP is intended to be a host-to-host protocol in common use in multiple networks.
