Primes¶
- Last Mile Delivery
- Public health and vaccination. Cold-chain delivery to the central warehouse is cheap; reaching remote populations with refrigeration intact and trained staff is where cost and failure concentrate. Telecommunications and broadband. Backbone fiber is cheap per bit-kilometre; running cable to the individual premise or installing the customer link is the cost-and-reliability concentration — the source of the "last mile" terminology.
This sourceDocuments that backbone bandwidth is cheap per bit while the access/last-mile link to individual premises dominates cost and reliability — the origin of the telecom 'last mile' framing.

- Last-Mile Failure
- In telecommunications — the original named instance — backbone fibre is cheap per bit while running fibre to every home is the budget-dominating step, so broadband penetration disparities are almost entirely last-mile phenomena.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
