I tend towards being more Libertarian, but the one place that I think governments should be involved in is infrastructure - the stuff where competition would be wasteful (who wants a bunch of competing private roads?).
I think it makes sense for governments to provide "roads, wires, and pipes" and then let the private companies decide what goes over the roads, wires, and pipes.
My municipality can maintain my wires but I can choose my ISP. Just like they maintain the roads, but private companies use them.
