Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Personal Infrastructure refers to all the accessories and capabilities an individual has acquired and built up to appear resourceful, more capable and more able to carry out functions more feasibly. For example, if a person has built up a great personal infrastructure, say, having a cell phone , he she would be able to make long distance calls. A person that has learnt how to drive and has a driver license would be able to use this to travel more effectively to work. Some aspects of personal infrastructure can take years to build up, such as education , programming skills and management skills. On the other hand, some aspects of personal infrastructure will take a comparatively shorter amount of time. For example, a cell phone can be bought quickly. To a certain extent, a home is also an aspect of personal infrastructure. Homeless people cannot perform many daily functions due to lack of a strong and solid personal infrastructure. For example, a home with a washing machine would be easier than a home that has no washing machine . But both are easier than the tasks a homeless person faces.

About London s utility infrastructure transport infrastructure Transport in London Orphan date March 2011 Below is information on the utility infrastructure in the city of London , England . Electric power supply Several power station s were built to generate electricity in the centre of London, including the famous power stations at Bankside and Battersea both now disused . Bankside power station has now been converted into Tate Modern , but still houses part of a large electricity transformer substation. HVDC Kingsnorth has been a unique element of the London power grid since 1975, the first urban high voltage direct current transmission system in the world. It was subsequently converted to standard 3 phase alternating current . Water The Thames Water Ring Main supplies much of London with water. Sewage disposal was historically a problem, causing major pollution of the River Thames and potable water supplies. London suffered from major outbreaks of cholera and typhus well into the mid 19th century. Indeed, the problem was so severe that Parliament was suspended on occasion due to the stench from the river. These problems were solved when Sir Joseph Bazalgette completed his system of intercepting mains to divert sewage from the Thames to outfalls east of London, where the tide would sweep the sewage out to sea. Telecommunications There are 188 telephone exchange s in London and all offer Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line ADSL internet services. ref http www.samknows.com broadband countydetail.php?county 96 Broadband availability details for London , SamKnows . ref Most of London, and some adjacent places, are covered by the 020 area code.
