在数据联网的变革时期,“最后1英里”——基础设施通达办公地和住家——仍是最后的阻碍。现今通过采用诸如DSL(数字用户线)的技术,可将坑洼地面的通道很快进到高速公路位置。事实上,由于增长缓慢的话音网(某些人估计为年增长4％)正在得益于为办公用户、远程接入、互联网和电了商务设计的数据网发展,电话正在转向。 During the transition to data networking, “the last mile” - infrastructure access to workplaces and homes - remained the last hurdle. By using technologies such as DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) today, it is possible to quickly access the potholes to the freeway. In fact, telephony is shifting as slower-growing voice networks (some estimate at 4% annual growth) are benefiting from the development of data networks designed for office users, remote access, the Internet and e-commerce.
