Abstract: We investigate $k$-nets with $kgeq4$ embedded in the projective plane $PG(2,mathbbK)$ defined over a field $mathbbK$; they are line configurations in $PG(2,mathbbK)$ consisting of $k$ pairwise disjoint line-sets, called components, such that any two lines from distinct families are concurrent with exactly one line from each component. The size of each component of a $k$-net is the same, the order of the $k$-net. If $mathbbK$ has zero characteristic, no embedded $k$-net for $kgeq5$ exists; see [1,2]. Here we prove that this holds true in positive characteristic $p$ as long as $p$ is sufficiently large compared with the order of the $k$-net. Our approach, different from that used in [1,2], also provides a new proof in characteristic zero. [1] J. Stipins, Old and new examples of k-nets in P2, math.AG/0701046. [2] S.
