Welcome to The Last Mile
Field notes from building independent ISP networks — from middle-mile strategy and last-mile construction to routing, datacenters, customer turnups, and competing against big telecom.
The middle mile gets you into the market.
The last mile is where the network becomes revenue.
The Last Mile is a field-driven blog and newsletter about building independent ISP networks — from middle-mile strategy and last-mile construction to routing, datacenters, customer turnups, and competing against big telecom.
This is where I’ll share what it really takes to build, operate, and scale an ISP from the ground up:
- Fiber design and engineering
- Underground boring
- Fiber pulling and splicing
- Customer turnups
- Network engineering
- Datacenter infrastructure
- Peering, transit, and routing
- Automation and operations
- Competing against big telecom
The last mile is where infrastructure becomes revenue.
That’s what this blog is about.
