The same people that build them today, road contractors, power companies, etc. And the same people who pay for it will continue to do so. but instead of an inefficient midle-man, the interested party would pay directly to the actor with the capacity to provide a service.

Correct. That middleman usually gets a cut of 80% of the funds collected right now. Wouldn't it be great to increase revenue of those endeavors by 80%?
I understand this line of reasoning but the reason we have a middle-man is to perform the function of organizing things like infrastructure development. How would you organize big projects such as new highways or better public transport? Who would pay for it? Would we only charge the residents that would utilize that infrastructure? How do you even track that? What about healthcare? This is an interesting discussion to be honest! I do hate tax - I pay a lot of it in my country (Australia) BUT it is spent (mostly) for good. Our healthcare is one of the best in the world because of it!
EDIT: I guess crypto and blockchain technologies could help with organization (such as something like what the Aragon project is doing)
