Don't believe what the media wants you to hear. There's more to the story.
Heh, the media is what we're talking about here; or the control of it. It's a different government that regulates internet service providers.(Local governments don't regulate telecommunications) Personally I don't think municipals should provide service, just infrastructure, that way they don't need to go through the mess of revenue bonds. Plus an even playing field of service providers (one in which a competitor doesn't own the infrastructure) will provide a more ideal service to constituents.

Why should Telecommunications keep going to the government asking them to regulate everyone else?

Why should Telecommunications Companies run the market and write (excuse me) "suggest" telecom law? (which is happening with many of these telecom bills on the state and federal level).

THAT'S a conflict of interest.

This is our telecom industry at work in the U.S. - instead of building out/updating their systems, telecom companies sue cities, counties and states to prevent them from providing services (which will usually be cheaper and better).

I wonder how much fiber could be deployed with the money the telcos spend on lobbying and lawsuits?
