Infrastructure services in energy, transport, water, and telecommunications services underpin the wealth of modern nations. Yet inefficiencies abound. In developing nations hundreds of millions of people lack access to modern infrastructure services. Globally, as much as 40 percent of expenditures on infrastructure may constitute waste, equivalent to some 1 to 2 percent of global GDP. Natural monopoly features and sunk costs provide incentives for the parties to infrastructure ventures to play ransom games. Particularly in developing economies prices are often well below cost. Hence investors shy away and access remains limited. Government involvement in project choice and implementation may lead to ‘white elephants’ and mismanagement. Where head-to-head competition can be introduced, such as in modern telecommunications systems, the syndrome can be kept in check. Yet where such competition is not feasible, policymaking and inevitable price and quality regulation remain a challenge, requiring patient effort at arm’s-length from day-to-day political pressures.

The information technology sector has experienced phenomenal growth during recent years. To follow this development many new technologies have emerged to satisfy the expectations of businesses and customers, such as Cloud Computing, mobility, virtualization, Internet of things and big data. Traditional network cannot longer support this growth and suffers more and more in terms of misconfiguration,management and configurations complexity. Software defined network (SDN) architectures can be considered as a big revolution in the field of computer networks, because they offer a centralized control on infrastructure, services and the applications deployed which facilitate configuration and management on the network. The implementation of this type of architecture is not obvious and requires great expertise and good handling and management of network equipment. To remedy this problem the SDN architectures have evolved towards distributed and hybrid architectures. Despites the advantages of using SDN, security issues remain a real obstacle in front of the deployment of this type of architecture. The centralized architecture of this type of networks makes it vulnerable to several types of attacks and intrusions, and the implementation of security equipment generally causes a decrease in performance and increase latency.

The commercial infrastructure formation is a key challenge of creating a common electric power market for the Eurasian Economic Union member states (Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia) provided for in the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union. The comparative analysis of electricity trading arrangements in the Eurasian Economic Union states have been presented in the article. It has been shown, that there are notable differences between combined power markets of these group of states in terms of the organization of trade relations (participants, infrastructure services, rules on trade and pricing policies). It has been established, that only the characteristics of the Russian electric power market fully comply with the requirements of program documents for the Eurasian Economic Union common electric power market. The appropriate recommendations on measures to adapt the power markets of other Eurasian Economic Union States to these requirements have been given
