Then you have the government come in, build out a competing infrastructure with tax payers money. As a business, you're now having to compete with an entity that has unlimited budget resources, can build out wherever they want, grant contracts and favorable leasing options to whichever businesses they want to and quite easily put you out of business. When you have to compete with a government entity as a business, you will always be at a disadvantage. In essence, governments don't foster competition, they basically do away with it, pick the winners they want to and then monopolize it and push other companies out.
