The whole concept of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_market https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_market requires being able to purchase interchangeable goods on the global market.
Yet, you cannot buy a service like broadband or sewage, put it in a box and sell it to someone living in another continent.
Location-bound services usually become quasi-monopolies, where free market does not apply. The quasi-monopolist is able (and happy) to charge the maximum price that people can pay.
