Organizations, personnel, procedures, facilities and networks employed to transmit and receive information by electrical or electronic means. In accordance with definition from ''The International Encyclopedia of Communication''  Communication infrastructure refers to the backbone of the communications system upon which various broadcasting and telecommunication services are operated. This can be built from copper cable, fiber, or wireless technologies utilizing the radio frequency spectrum, such as microwave and satellite. The infrastructure is the core component that connects upstream production, such as voice, data and audiovisual services, with downstream consumers. Albert Hirschman's (1958) now widely used definition of infrastructure as capital goods offering public services, often associated with public utilities such as electricity, water, and communications, remains pertinent to communication infrastructure today because it does not link public services to public capital goods.
