Utilities, roads, wireless spectrum, really anything that requires everyone to agree on a standard set of rules for it to work. Can you imagine if roads were built like web browsers? It's one thing to have a website not work in your web browser, but when someone's safety is at stake, I'm a big fan of standardization. Of course -- and I've said this before -- anything important enough to be a monopoly is important enough to be heavily regulated in order to operate in the public interest (as utilities, roads and spectrum are).
