I'm not sure governments are actually worse than businesses at that on average. I've had excellent service at libraries, for example. Polls suggest most people have a positive view of libraries. [0]

I don't see how a local municipality having access is worse than a large corporation. At least municipalities aren't incentivized to extract more revenue by selling data. It seems like regulations and technology are better solutions to privacy issues than keeping ISPs private.
