I wouldn't say telecoms has worked either really other than for the shareholders, it was sold off on the cheap just before two big telecommunication booms, and we are still subsidising broadband roll-outs with taxpayer money by the billion for example
Telecoms was a disaster until Ofcom were given teeth and threatened to remove Openreach from BT. Since then Openreach have been doing the fastest FTTP rollout of any country in the world. So it has been a success more recently.
