I get it, choice is nice. The reason this type of thing is limited is because these companies have to often rely on public infrastructure in order to provide their services. Allowing competing interests to provide services would result in constant utilities work being done to create a patchwork of equipment and wires. It would be a convoluted mess.
At the municipal level, there is very logical and sound reason for restriction of companies in the area to provide services like that. It's just not something most people think of when these things are discussed.
