In Iowa, we have a state-owned, state-run fibre optic network that has 
terminations in most of the state at local schools.  There is no last 
mile solution in place, which would make the network accessible for 
students from their homes.  Looks like an antenna at the school, and a 
dish across town is all that is needed for coverage for the 
communities.  If Meraki units were placed in students' homes, which cost 
$50 each, it would then be manageable and low-cost for a last mile 
solution.  Is anyone out there doing something similar?
