This article explores how infrastructure networks get created in spite of the uncertainties in their development process. It focuses on the development of the Iowa Communications Network and North Carolina Information Highway which represent two very different models of state-wide networking. The experience with the Erie and Welland Canals provides the backdrop for the analysis. It offers insights into how metaphors provide the initial impetus, and how political will and sunk investments help sustain the effort for creating an infrastructure network.
