Q: how do i get internet on the ipod touch?

You'll have to connect using your Wi-Fi, there is no data plan, because you are not using the mobile network like an iPhone does. You can connect to public hotspots or other Wi-Fi networks, but they may charge you for joining the network.

If you are already using Wi-Fi at home, there are no additional charges if you connect another device to your router.

If you are any android mobile

This is what I do.  Tethering? Just 3 steps.

1. I just turn my Xperia X10i to Wi-Fi Hotspot. 

2. I turn on Wi-Fi on my iPod Touch and would search for the Wi-Fi that my mobile provides.

3. Connect. Enjoy.
