I wouldn't want the governemnt running telecommunications or utilities - because even though it might be cheaper, the implementation and quality of those services would be worse (which is a general rule of thumb to go by regarding any government program - they usually don't work as well as their private counterparts).

Occasional smiting of monopolies and oligopolies is a good thing though...so I guess I agree with you on that point.
