Not really.  Pension funds would not cringe at all, but feel relieved they 
found a company with clear focus on long term profit sustainability to invest

Regulation is the 'fix' governments have come up with to address market 
failures, oligopolistic cartels and lack of true competition, instead of 
admitting the obvious:  natural monopolies like most public utilities are not 
a good fit for privatisation, if the public good and tax payers' interests 
count for anything these days.
