SOA World - SOA’s Last Mile
According to Wikipedia, ‘The last mile (or last kilometer) is the final leg of delivering connectivity from a communications provider to a customer. Usually referred to 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.’ The significant complexity, cost, and risk associated with this situation delayed many broadband rollouts until new technology became available that could realize the ‘last mile.’
