The last mile is the final leg of delivering communications connectivity to a resident or customer. Usually referred to by the telecommunications and cable industries, it is typically seen as an expensive challenge because "fanning out" wires and cables is a considerable fiscal and physical undertaking. In the rest of the world, the phrase "last kilometre" is sometimes used.See also
Last Mile is also a term for the distance between a prisoner's cell and the location of their execution. The phrase originated at Sing Sing Prison, where it was the short walk from the dance hall to the electric chair.
