ABSTRACT

This research aims to build a theory for Cross-Sector Infrastructure Sharing (CIS), chiefly between electric utilities and telecommunications operators. The study is to develop a framework that can be used as a guideline in selecting or assessing a CIS business model between electric utilities and telecommunications operators, or as an overview to understand CIS. A literature review was conducted to identify main concepts and categorize them structure a framework. The resulting framework is divided into three sections: the CIS environment that induces the CIS, the electric sector reform, financial and other incentives, and regulation, law, and policy; the infrastructure subject sharing such as corridors, conduits, ducts, towers, and poles, dark fiber, and land and facilities; and last, the business models that vary from joint planning and construction to provision of space and ancillary services. The framework was validated with CIS case studies, and can be used by practitioners in assessing the CIS business model.
