Talk:Indefeasible rights of use
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] IRUs can be for anything=
An Indefeasible Right of Use is a way of granting ownership of an asset that is inseperable or otherwise conjoined. A bundle of 96 fibers can have 24 fibers each for 4 companies who pooled resources to build the loop but the cable can not belong to all of them. The primary owner issues an Indefeasible Right of Use (IRU) to the other three. Land that is contaminated and holds potential libility to it's owner can be transfered by an IRU to a user who never takes on the risk of ownership.
Technicaly, an IRU should have no conditions or be Indefeasible. In practice there is usualy a length and other terms included such a agreements about maintenance of the cable or replacements and outages.
