The infrastructure would be things like fiber cable wired to each house.

But in this scenario, the ISPs would be manning the servers that your connection is routed through. So they'd still have massive influence on the speed and data.

If the government owned the servers, they could block and track down anything against state interest.

Not saying they can't do that anyways, but at least the third party makes the process more difficult, less seamless, and gives the chance of new competitors.
