For infrastructure, central planning and state-run systems make a lot of sense - this after all is how the USA's interstate highway system was built. The important caveat is that system components and necessary tools should be provided by the competitive private sector through transparent bidding processes - eg, you don't have state-run factories for making switches, fiber cable, road graders, steel rebar, etc. There are all kinds of debatable issues, eg should system maintenance be contracted out to specialized providers, or kept in-house, etc.
