Explain why goods provided by natural monopolies, Microeconomics

Assignment Help:

Explain why goods provided by natural monopolies are often publicly owned.

It would seem that most normal monopolies come with high MSB and also that society has deemed these goods far too societally significant to be owned/operated by private interests. Therefore, water, gas, sewage, public transportation, telecom etc, is often wholly in the hands of government or local municipal ownership - or at least control.
