One angle missing in this whole debate is privacy.
For example: the USPS, having started as a government agency, has the weight of the law behind it. No one can mess with your (physical) mail.
Similarly, I can imagine a scenario where traffic on a municipal-owned fiber network could enjoy some protections that a private operator won't.
As an example, ATT is more than happy to bend over and go above and beyond the law to help the feds, hoping for favors in return.
