I extremely do not want the situation where the state owns and operates the communications infrastructure of the general population.

That's turnkey tyranny, censorship both ways (what you can send, what you can read). Right now it's just expensive, but you can still use a few different (overpriced and anti-competitive) providers.

If the state decides you're a threat and unplugs you, it could be months or years before you can invoke your legal rights to get reinstated.
