Can infrastructure be disrupted by the gig economy? I can't see it. I'm not saying that because my limited imagination can't think it up that it therefore cannot exist, but both uber and airbnb are examples of the same central idea that doesn't seem to apply to infrastructure projects. (both are earning fractions of unused capacity that have already been built).
Maybe a Tesla/SpaceX-style "Some wealthy "idiot" is willing to front the cash to hurdle the initial spend and make it likely to succeed" approach would be more likely. A pity Lazaridis and Balsillie are more interested in spending it all on education instead of transit.
Ah well, one need at a time.
