local loop

local loop
Also known as the "last mile". The fixed copper wires that link a local telephone exchange to the homes of customers. The "unbundling" of the local loop refers to a process by which an incumbent telecommunications operator is obliged to offer to other operators (whether by outright sale or some form of leasing arrangement) the use of individual copper lines from the local telephone exchange to the customer's house.
