I think there's an argument to be had on 'owned by the public, but operated by private industry.' Another on 'built by private industry, but owned by the public.'

But I do think anything that trends towards monopoly makes sense as 'let the public own the simplest level, exposed via standards, and innovation happen above and/or below that.'
