I know what you're saying. But if it was really a free-market they would HAVE to have their own infrastructure etc. Its not really competition otherwise in my opinion.
Then again Im a socialist type and think water and rail should be nationalised, and there should be public options for utilities etc.

Free market types who've actually read economics books understand that private monopolies are just really really bad. In every way. Having many small monopolies is not competition. Public sector provision is waaaaaaaay preferable even to some of us loonies who like competition.
