It just seems to me that today's technology makes these neat distinctions somewhat out of date. Should the Internet be ultimately under the control of a private organization or is it an important enough utility that it should be under the control of the "we the people" directly through government? There are a variety of opinions among conservatives on this question right now. 

Highways, railroads, airports are so essential to producing wealth in today's world; there are proposals for these to be provided by private enterprise, but does anyone really trust such an arrangement without considerable regulation? The "public utilities" model of organization maybe something that should be used more instead of reduced as it has been in recent years.

Is the prosperity of Canada ... Sweden ... Denmark ... etc. "a dangerous illusion"? It just seems to me that in today's realities, there are roles for government, for private enterprise, for voluntary organizations, and collaboration is needed.
