Heh. Here it was a private company until it got big enough to make it worth
regulating. It was a regulated monopoly, but not *owned* by the state. The
federal government just told it how much profit it had to make and the
conditions under which it had to accept customers.
I guess when you aren't the first doing the technology, you can look and say
"Gee, that's going to be very popular, we better make that part of the
