We tend to get a much better ROI on things we pay for on a free market, than things paid for via tax money. If a private company does something we don't like, we can choose not to use their services or purchase their products. If they're doing something alot of people don't like, then alot of people will have this same reaction. This will affect their bottom line, and could end their business. People can even choose to even start their own company and compete with this company directly. And thus providing an alternative. The original company ends up shooting themselves in the foot.... and looses their business (unless they change their ways). However...... If a government provides a shitty service, what can we do about it?.... Nothing! And I know... people are going to say, well you can vote and change things. First, in my observation, voting rarely seems to change anything. But.... second... let's assume voting does change things... well you have to wait 4 years before you can affect any kind of change. And you get one shot at it. (We essentially have 4 year dictatorships.) That's NOT better than a free market. I think it's better to remove the regulations we have now that are (for all practical purposes) preventing new competitor ISP from arising.
