Not just email but internet as a whole should be run like a public utility, electricity as well. It's US centric to think everything needs to be private.

Nobody I knows wants a Federal government provided internet service.

However municipalities should be allowed to, not forced to [or not].

It is unfortunately not all that US centric. Privatization of essential services is widespread in the EU as well.
