Because privatised assets owned by corporates don't operate that way....once again Governments getting done over by business during asset sales with no conditions in the purchase contracts for such things....and ironically in the Power industry the term "gold plating" of assets gets thrown around where the electricity distributor can spend their money upgrading assets when not necessarily needed however pass on the "cost' of such upgrades to power retailers and ultimately us the public...with not much oversite.
