Living in Spain I really learned to appreciate a well-working postal service which is ultimately a small, but meaningful factor in quality of life. That said, the postal services are generally pretty good in Spain, but there's a big problem of addresses, and the very outdated databases that were true at one point, but someone since re-named the street two-three times already (or just made up a street name to get some process going, like to connect the electricity when the final street name wasn't given yet). Lots of houses have one official address (on the deed), one (or three) address that everyone knows it by. The street signs and even the house numbers are wrong sometimes. Our house currently has no less than five addresses, used with various providers.

It's very important to have the base/grounds/fundamentals in a good way to support things building on top. If you have shitty network your application will be shitty, too. If you have bad roads you can't have a fast and reliable shipping of goods between companies. You have to invest in the base to have an enviornment which allow to grow and evolve. In Germany there was a lot of discussion about fiber Internet build out and if we need it. At some point the discussion changed to "Yes, we need it as the base" and only discussion about you pays for it. For me personally I feel more comfortable and safe with a working base (aka Goverment/Community/Society). And a lot of people working hard to have the base up and running to just let some egiost running their company and proudly saying "It's me who worked hard to build this great company and I'm the greatest man on earth". But of course he could only do that with the base.
