The trouble is, though, that in too many cases the "remedy" is to 
replace government monopolies with private oligopolies - at best. This 
is particularly true for infrastructure where it just doesn't make any 
sense to have more than one physical provider. With the ever increasing 
difference between the rich and the average person, no wonder people are 
suspicious against a treaty that seems to put even more power into the 
hands of international mega-corporations where we have absolutely no 
control. Now whether rejecting this particular treaty makes any 
difference here, I don't know.
