		Last time, we reviewed the ample amount of stuff needed to build what’s commonly known as “the last mile” of the cable network — the section of plant that starts where the fiber part of hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) adjoins to the coaxial part, and ends a few hundred feet later at subscribing homes.
		The last mile, as previously described, isn’t usually a linear mile.
		At the last pole, a different type of clamp — with a ring on it — attaches the hung strand to a guy wire and to the ground.

	The New York Times > Opinion > Op-Ed Columnist: The Last Mile
		Last week, The Times's defense correspondent, Thom Shanker, wrote about a study conducted by the Defense Science Board, which found that nearly two years into the war in Iraq, America's institutions charged with "strategic communications" - about what we are doing in the world and why - are broken.
		And the last mile in every war is about claiming the political fruits.
		The bad guys in Iraq can lose every mile on every road, but if they beat America on the last mile - because they are able to intimidate better than America is able to coordinate, protect, inform, invest and motivate - they will win and America will lose.

	Progress, or Lack of, for That Last Mile
		And, in those days, the last mile meant a VHF or UHF (and some 800 MHz) short-haul licensed link that was designed to add telephone-like communications to areas that weren't served by landlines.
		Today it is generally referred to as the connection to the curb from the provider's last point of control (like a telephone pole, cable box, wireless point of presence or a microwave link).
		Cable, copper and unlicensed wireless technologies all are vying for the last mile content and delivery system business — business that hasn't been well defined yet (yes, there have been cursory attempts to add upsteam to otherwise downstream-only systems).

		To allow technology to “go the last mile,” healthcare IT systems need to reach the point of care, intelligently integrate the myriad of available information sources and be easier to use.

		The potential for the Wireless Last Mile reflects the progressive improvement in computing power, which is changing the terms of the trade-off between different ways of using the radio spectrum for communication.
		The terms of existing spectrum licenses are not flexible enough to accommodate the wireless last mile.
		That is, given the uncertainty about the technical feasibility, costs, and benefits of the Wireless Last Mile, the best public policy may be to rely on the information supplied by individuals and firms via the market.

	CNN - Houston firm wires the 'last mile' - August 6, 1999
		(CNN) -- The path to your front door is the last place the country's telecommunications giants plan to lay down 20 yards of the thousands of miles of fiber-optic cabling being installed nationwide to push data transmission rates into the stratosphere.
		A handful of cities and towns nationwide, such as Shrewsbury, Mass., have taken it upon themselves to upgrade wiring for their residents, paying for the installation either with bond measures or city-owned cable service fees.
		About 40 miles from Boston, the town of Shrewsbury chose several years back to form a municipally owned cable system -- making it one of 40 or so cities and towns nationwide to have done so.
