VAT prices are directly computed into the price of the product you purchase. You get a receipt and it shows how much went towards the product and service, and how much went to the governemnt. Companies don't pay it at all.

You're assuming that a certain percentage of every taxed dollar (or in this case, W1000) goes to internet service providers, when the money could come from a specific tax, or from tax incentives both to domestic companies or from internationals.

Lastly, you also open a whole new argument about costs of the internet the minute taxes get thrown into the mix. If you wanted to really break things down, just how much have you and your famiy paid for your internet service? Your parents had been paying for all these new and cool communications technologies since the 1950's, way before they were commercially available.
