Last Mile
Last Mile : (ICT) (GEN, TEL) The "last mile" is the final leg of delivering connectivity from a communications provider to a customer. The phrase is often used by the telecommunications and cable television industries. It is typically seen as an expensive challenge because "fanning out" wires and cables is a considerable physical undertaking. Because the last mile of a network to the user is also the first mile from the user to the world, the term "first mile" is sometimes used. To solve the problem of providing enhanced services over the last mile, some firms have been mixing networks for decades. One example is Fixed Wireless Access, where a wireless network is used instead of wires to connect a stationary terminal to the wire-line network
