It could be argued that words endin in -co as an abreviation for company
could legitmately be made plural by co's as a contraction of companies.
Of course if you were doing that, you should probably write it infra'co's.

I did consider that as my defence but as you say logic would suggest
the inclusion of two apostrophes, so I decided not to as I would've
been caught out by the sharp eyed readers here on utl!

IMO it would of course be better if we didn't have to write about
infracos/infra'co's whatsoever, but the Treasury decided that PPP was
the way to go so here we are, wondering at the joys of the infracos'
incompetence (that is, the incompetence of the infracos!).
