"The US government rarely steps in and takes over a large commercial system."

True. But the reverse isn't always true. When they put together a network makeshift-like for a specific purpose, such as a satellite network they pieced together for delivery of phone links to Yugoslavia for Armed Services and Emergency Services personnel during the "police action," they will auction it off when they are done with it. As they did in the latter case, when they sold it for a song, despite the fact that its network elements were nowhere near meeting Y2K criteria. Ouch.
