That doesn't make any sense. I'm still trying to figure what in your positive and negative rights mean. Rights are what you can't take away, not what you can force on others. No one is required to pay for anyone elses internet or print anyones pamphlets.
I have the right to speak freely or remain silent. I can't be forced to speak nor can I be forced into silence. 4 out of 5 people agree no one should be denied access to the internet. If I paid for it, it's mine to use. If I use the free airport wifi it's mine to use. Gov'ts or individuals shouldn't be able to say I can't use the internet at all.

There are people who claim that their right to the Internet means that if they cannot afford t then someone else is obligated to pay for it, else they are being denied their right to the 'Net. (And, presumably, if there is no Internet then someone has to go make one.) This is a 'positive right'. It obligates other people to take action to provide something.
