What is the business model of the backbone infrastructure of the Internet?
For example, when I Yahoo! access, there is a link between my house and my IPS, I pay for, called the "last mile".

Most of the distance is covered by connections the dorsal very expensive (which connect cities, countries and continents). Due to the characteristics of TCP, there is no way to control what my skeleton Aid packages will be much less (I guess) billing for it. So who pays for this investment?
Many of the spine is paid for by big companys, but since 9 / 11, the United States government plays an important role in the 13 root servers. Some of the main developers are firm as Verisign and Google. Primarily for safety reasons but I imagine that many of our taxpayers' money goes to development:.
