you can use CDS to insure performance of your high quality A+ "recurring revenue" bonds. It is pretty cheap for high quality A+ bonds.

>>Just need to make sure you don't end up with financers/banks/rating agencies colluding to bundle multiple companies together and sell tranches of the debt (all with a phony A+ rating) to investors/funds...

but that is exactly the point of the securitization and high skill in doing it which would allow to bring all those sweet pension fund money into play. "financers/banks/rating agencies colluding " - it like saying violin and piano players colluding in Metropolitan Opera performance.
