I'm always incredibly skeptical of the, "A little of this is going rather poorly, what we need is more of it" argument. Which was exactly the kind of distaste for regulation I was talking about! How about comparing your interstate highway system (total government intervention and pretty good) to the railway network (just enough interference to make running a railway difficult without actually helping)? I'm sure there are other examples. Regulation of infrastructure which can be built once and then shared in an efficient manner is very different from regulation of service provision.
