Why? So you cat get your high-quality rose-scented gas?

Or maybe you want your electricity to be 110V @60Hz.

When private companies are given control of essential infrastructure,
that is bad. When that problem is solved by giving more companies
control, it doesn't get better.

In fact I'd like BT, or whatever the government-controlled[1]
organisation would be called, to give me a IP block (4 and 6) and an
ethernet port and then get out of the way, allowing me to choose my
phone provider in the same way I choose my search engine and I'd like to
pay no more for it than is necessary for the installation and
maintenance.

[1] Yes, yes, government is shit. But while I'm giving a wishlist I'll
just add that I'd like it not to be.
