I think power is an interesting example because everywhere that it is privatized it tends to be a mess. Shit, PG&E burnt down half of California... what, on behalf of its shareholders, trying to cut corners and make them a buck? Who the fuck did that help? So yeah, I'd really rather see basic internet infrastructure be made into a public utility. Maybe 100 years from now S3 might make sense too. The problem is that we're so busy arguing about whether we should even HAVE a government it's incredibly difficult to do anything smart with ours.
