No. Reasonable people can disagree on this one - you're not going to get competition or innovation out of a "utility" - you're going to get "electricity" or "water" type service. You ever bragged about your utility company or water company? You want to know why that is? Because there is no incentive for them to provide outstanding service.

Yeah, let's de-regulate the water company. I can see it now, you'll be forced to rent your own water heater from the water company, and you can't just buy water alone, you'll also have to bundle in spigots for iced tea, milk, and Coca-Cola too.
