File talk:The last mile hierarchy.svg

Very poor illustration
This diagram does a very poor job illustrating what it is supposed to illustrate; last mile distribution networks. I'd suggest completely redoing this drawing. --ChetvornoTALK 04:14, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * In the first place the drawing is not topologically a tree, the shape of distribution networks; multiple "branches" are not shown originating from a single "trunk". All the branches at each level are shown connected together.  The drawing resembles a comb.  This is going to be confusing for general readers.
 * In the second place the label "Locally shared costs" is going to be confusing. The costs of the "last mile" links in a distribution network like a water supply system, cable television system or telephone network are not typically "shared" with the customer but borne by the owner of the network.
 * In the third place, the mixture of manmade and natural networks in the examples is going to be confusing. Talk of "costs" does not apply to natural networks.
