The "last mile" is indeed very important as long as high speed is kept in mind. Reason is that a whole new, basicly virgin (because of the room to spare), infrastructure would spark various much needed and lucrative (therefor attractive) markets that in turn would result in a growing economy and associated benefits. Markets that are hopefully not poisoned by sole rights, patents, (small) monopolies, exclusive licensing, lock-ins, one-sided package deals and specificly DRM because then it would be milked to the last drop and thus never reach the potential it could have. Which would be a crying shame if not a public insult.
