A moat is a competitive advantage that's hard for competitors reproduce or otherwise overcome. Coke's moat is its near universal brand awareness and affinity. Comcast's moat is its infrastructure and political clout. Crossing a moat in any conventional way is very resource intensive and often leaves the challenger vulnerable.
