The state hereby has the authority to allocate property for the construction of radio towers, satellite dishes, cell service towers, train stations, and rail track across the nation.

The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport shall have sole jurisdiction over the building, maintaining, and operation of said industries outlined in previous articles.

As outlined above, workers shall be entitled to form small, decentralized businesses, referred to as Öffentliches Unternehmen (Publicly-owned Enterprise) in local cities and villages but their rates shall be regulated by the Ministry of Finance. It is also forbidden for Publicly-owned Enterprises to grow to challenge national state-run companies or form monopolies.

Said Publicly-owned Enterprises shall be allowed to compete with each other but shall be strictly forbidden from engaging in business practices aimed at harassing a rival PoE.
