English term or phrase: bridging the last mile
bridging the last mile

Ten years ago, a company wanting to connect its offices together and to the Internet faced limited options. Frame relayRelay, ISDN, dialup services or a T1 / E1 line forced them to pay a higher price for performance or settle for technology that didn’t provide the features required for true IP management such as class of service prioritization. Today, network access options have multiplied.

conectando/accediendo a la última milla


Explanation:
A pesar de la literalidad, el término viene a significar precisamente esto: la milla de distáncia que está más cerca del usuario final que usa los servicios de telecomunicaciones. La última milla también es el "bucle de abonado". Ese último espacio que ha sido monopolizado por las telecos dominantes y que cada vez se abre mas a la competencia en diferentres países.
