For the internet to work, there must be cell towers everywhere, many servers built, and tunnels built with cables connecteted to every home.
How was the government/corporations convinced to start construction? How was the public convinced to start paying extra to get access to 10 websites and hope that it would take off?

The internet does not require cell towers at all. Your phone does. Your phone uses cellular technology to connect to the *cellphone network*. Any traffic from your phone that is directed at the internet (meaning that it’s not a voice call or text message) is split off and routed to the internet.
If you’re using your computer or TV or other device to access the internet, there are no cell towers or mobile infrastructure involved at all.
As has been explained in detail by others, the internet uses telephone lines or cable TV networks. Also, they dont dig tunnels for underground lines. Sometimes you can run the lines without even digging except for access holes every so often. Other times they might need to dig a trench that’s about 2ft wide. When they do, they run lines with a capacity far exceeding the current demand to allow for future expansion. Additional trunk lines are usually run alongside existing lines to make it easier.
