The last mile is the vast majority of the cost, but it&#x27;s not what ISPs talk about when they try to justify price increases and refusals to peer.  They talk about the usage, even as that gets cheaper and cheaper.  If we shut that rhetoric down, and get them to be honest, we&#x27;re a lot closer to reasonable policies.<p>Or we go with the simple answer and split last mile and transit into different services, but that requires government intervention.
