Last mile problem by Ciro Santilli 34 Updated Created
The exact same problem appears over and over, e.g.:
  • transportaion: the last mile of the trip when everyone leaves the train and goes to their different respective offices is the most expensive
  • telecommunications: the last mile of wire linking local hubs to actual homes is the most expensive
  • electrical grid: same as telecommunications
Ciro Santilli also identified knowledge version of this problem: the missing link between basic and advanced.
