Specifically, that entity has to carry out the following steps: (1) assemble the required rights of way from all those currently holding the property rights; and (2) decide on the allocation of at least usage property rights to different kinds of infrastructure providers (and ultimately users of that infrastructure). This entity, which we refer to as the Assembler, could be the federal government or a consortium that also includes sub-national levels of government.
