internet - Defining the issues: paying for infrastructure

Diving into internet governance issues and China's position, I will start to identify some issues that come up, for example in this report of a working group on internet governance. One of the issues is that of who pays for the infrastructure and on how to divide the costs.
Under traditional telecommunication, developed countries subsidized developing countries in the way costs for international calls were divided. Now, the internet is eroding those revenue streams, making developing countries rather reluctant to invest in the internet. How to solve that problem.
That was a dilemma I did not see as I was complaining about the poor internet connections in Shanghai. Initially the Chinese government has been pushing the development, but did not realize the telecom companies would see the internet as a threat to their income.
