5. Composition of DCR Index
It’s all about
infrastructure.

6. Infrastructure is all about right-of-way
Yesterday:
Telegraph lines aerially passed along the train tracks and highways
High Frequency radio links required no seamless ROW
Today:
Securing orbital slots remains critical for satellites
Spectrum is the ROW for microwave transmission
Highways are favorite ROW for optical fiber transmission
Optical fiber has democratized infrastructure
Undersea transmission, railway signaling and SCADA.
Submarine cables always need permission to enter national maritime boundary.

7. Infrastructure was unified in 1901

8. Infrastructure is segregated today
