10/90 RULE
The Last 100 meter
connectivity

Connected World

Still Disconnected

The last 100 meters represent > 90% potential number of connections
Today, the devices used in the last 100 meters are typically not connected. The wide-area network is
to a larger extent connected e.g. through smartphones, home routers (e.g. ADSL routers) and GSM /
3G / 4G Routers.
