Maybe I misunderstand what you mean by "subsuming" rights.

"To incorporate in a more comprehensive category".

In other words, if there's a big category that says "Right to 
education", and you suggest that education requires Internet, then the 
"Right to Internet" becomes a subset of the established "right to 
education".

But as I said before, although Internet is very useful to education (as 
is extensive world travel) it's not essential.
