What makes an infrastructure?
Under the TICCS® framework, a number of fundamental economic criteria have to be present for a company and its assets to be meaningfully considered 'infrastructure':
- Single-use investment (no alternative use)
- Sunk or irreversible capital investment
- Large size & long repayment period
- Inflexible total cost structure
- Infrastructure as a service (value through service provision)
- Not a store of value (it's valuable because it's useful)
