May Be Critical
So-called critical infrastructure includes some public and some firm-specific assets, for example, a private electric power utility would include assets such as transmission towers and transformers. For purposes of determining if they are "critical", it is their function, not their ownership, that matters.

Famous quotes containing the word critical:
“If our entertainment culture seems debased and unsatisfying, the hope is that our children will create something of greater worth. But it is as if we expect them to create out of nothing, like God, for the encouragement of creativity is in the popular mind, opposed to instruction. There is little sense that creativity must grow out of tradition, even when it is critical of that tradition, and children are scarcely being given the materials on which their creativity could work”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
