Government--Government--Right Tool for this Job?
• Stifling Competition?– Is the government an unfair competitor?– What services already exist?
• Government Expertise?– Can the government do a better job than the private sector?– Can the government keep pace with market changes or new
technologies?
• Regulations?
• Priorities?– What is an acceptable Return on Investment?– Does this serve all constituents?
