Whose dime? My offered suggestion is Malaysia, and the Flag Carrier Airline of that country. Put the burden of cost on those with the formal oversight for safe and proper operations of their various aircraft and crews.
This may sound harsh, but I think is realistic and just.
Perhaps the issue of who pays should be given more priority in the discussions that are currently in progress in the pan-national aviation organizations that are all coming up with various bureaucratic regulations on tamper-proof aircraft tracking.
