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?

There wasn’t all THAT much construction to get it started really. I mean, my first internet connection was through a modem that quite simply used the existing telephone line. And there wasn’t all that much there yet either, when I first connected there weren’t even any graphical browsers yet.
But once the whole thing got started, it became a snowball effect between more people getting access, leading to more people being interested in putting content on the web, which makes it more interesting to connect etc.
