What if you assume a simplified, one-directional internet model? Using your simplified version it would be Google->GCom->AT&T->UCom->User. Google pays GCom for sending information across GCom's network. GCom pays AT&T for sending information across AT&T's network. Now does AT&T pay UCom even though the information reaches it's destination there? If AT&T does pay UCom, then didn't AT&T transmit the data for free? Now, if AT&T doesn't have to pay UCom, as the destination is on UCom's network, then everyone gets paid once and everyone should be happy (if they're not greedy little monkeys that is).
