TOPIC: How is the reintroduction of privatization impacting public policy decision making and the targeted social outcomes? For example, imagine a state determines that access to high-speed internet for every home is essential for long-term public health, yet in areas of the state, the market has determined that it is not profitable to provide the service. Should the state form a partnership with a private sector business (i.e., subsidize) to ensure that their social goal is obtained?

Public Administration in Practice
Introduction
Public versus private administration is an argument that has remained contested for decades. Back in the 1980s, there was a widespread uptake of operations by governments, especially in the developed world’s such as Europe and America. Governments were deeply involved in establishing roads, bridges, and waterways. They were also involved in the service industry, such as health and installing hospital units. The services extended to the banking industry which the government played a major stakeholder. However, at the start of the 1990s, the shift changed so that privatization became the thing. The private industry's expected efficiency and self-sufficiency were vital factors driving the practice. Consequently, privatization has greatly affected the public policies of various governments (Wang et al., 2018). One such area is formulating policies that make high-speed Internet an essential tool in achieving long-term public health. It is essential for the state governments to form partnerships with the private industry to successfully deliver high-speed internet services to the general public for a healthy state.
Government Operations
Civil Service Implementation
High-speed internet services are quite a competitive business. It thus requires a capitalist-driven mind to keep one's business as a going concern. The need to make such a service available to all may be futile for any private business. However, incorporating the government brings some advantages that may make the process more efficient (Mendez et al, 2021). This includes applying the civil system mode of hiring based on patronage rather than patronage. The presence of civil government as an oversight board brings some sense of accountability of the firm to the general public and thus calls for more transparency in the conduction of daily business.
Local Government Operations
Privatization's prevalence is fast rising at national and local government levels. In the case of internet service delivery, the backbone of this essential service is being handed over to the private sector, with the local government leader taking less effect. The Domain Name System (DNS) and Internet Protocol (IP) address system have since been transferred from the governor's leadership (Tarnoff, 2022). The effect is that instead of the local governments having the mandate to provide a government-subsidized backbone to one where the private market is the one to provide such a service. The local government is now taking less role in the limelight and focusing on and easing operations of the private firms to make the service affordable to the citizens. Thus, this phenomenon can be equated to managers being more prevalent and less of the mayor.
Impact on Iron Triangle
Like many other policies, the privatization of high-speed internet services is subject to influence by partisans of the iron triangle. While the federal government is looking to extend its influence across the different states, the policy is unlikely to take effect if certain groups' needs are unmet. For instance, the service's subsidization level should be sufficient to attract private investors, who are often the special interest groups with the capacity to conduct such enormous projects. Nevertheless, the extent to which the special groups can hold a federal or local government at stake is usually counteracted by the presence of bureaucratic institutions that can offer such services. In the case of privatization of high-speed Internet, the bureaucratic institutions maintain unique roles, including maintenance and enforcement of the laws (Brownstein, 2020). Thus, where there is more bureaucratic power, special interests are at a disadvantage.
Differences Between Public Administration and Private Sector Management
Organizational Difference
The powers of a government limit the extent of administration of high-speed Internet by the government. In the case of federal government involvement, the legislative laws in place only allow this form of government to play an oversight role rather than conduct the day-to-day activities left to the state government. The difference in state laws brings out systematic differences in service delivery and affordability (Brownstein, 2020). On the other hand, privatization eliminates border limitations and can traverse many states. Such private companies include Brightspeed and Spectrum. It is thus beneficial to operate as a private firm.
Cultural Difference
There are significant cultural differences in operation in the public and private sectors. In the former, the effects of the iron triangle are more obvious, and such factors often drive even the appointments made to various positions in a company. However, in the case of a privately owned high-speed internet service, the appointment of the head staff, such as the chief executive officer, is more likely to be based on track record rather than whose interests they are meant to safeguard (Christensen et al., 2020). Thus, while public services aim to satisfy the needs of the citizens, there is an overriding interest that has to be also aligned, while the private sector has a culture of aligning its interest to the consumers with a service that ensures profitability and suitable operations.
Roles of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial Branches
Executive Branch
The executive branch has some significant powers when it comes to enacting policies. Depending on how fit it considers the privatization of internet services, the policy can be passed and made into law or veto it altogether after congress has approved the process. On the other hand, the executive can also bypass congress through an executive order and make the policy formal even where there is congressional resistance (Laplane &
