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:
“It is a sign of our times, conspicuous to the coarsest observer, that many intelligent and religious persons withdraw themselves from the common labors and competitions of the market and the caucus, and betake themselves to a certain solitary and critical way of living, from which no solid fruit has yet appeared to justify their separation.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
