Data Wants to be Free
High quality Digital Infrastructure assets are amongst the finest economic engines in the modern world. Public companies around the globe develop, build, buy, own, and operate these assets. These are the Class-A real estate of the 21st Century, exhibiting growth, inflation protection, moated competitive positions, recurring revenue, and high margins.
Critical digital infra assets like data centers, fiber, cable, cell towers, and other mobile infrastructure power our digital experience. These assets enable everything from Netflix ‘n Chill to virtual reality to social media to SaaS to self-driving cars. We want access to all data, anywhere, anytime.
And our expectations are rising.
We want broader coverage, faster speeds, higher security, and more reliability. Technologies like 5G, edge storage and compute, and fiber to the home (FTTH) are just the latest incarnations of those evergreen desires.
The IO Digital Infrastructure Index (ticker: BYTE) is meant to expand access to the best of those assets. It measures the performance of 40 of the most well-positioned digital infrastructure providers in the world.
Digital Infrastructure has a unique position in our society: we rely on it regardless of what use case wins. It is relatively agnostic as to whether Google beats Microsoft or Netflix beat Disney+: digital infrastructure delivers your experience regardless.
Digital infra assets are the highways and key connection points of the internet, across which data travels, is stored, is processed, and is delivered.
