Last Mile: Telecom Operator

Dayton, 2004. You run Northline, a small network with a rival across town.

Every card is two months and a decision. Take the loan or stay lean. Dig the duct or put up a radio hop. Match Valley Cable's price cut or sell reliability. Keep Cash, Customers, Network and Reputation alive, because if any of them hits zero, the company is gone.

• Twenty years, from copper to fibre, mobile and the big squeeze
• Build district by district on the city map
• Outage nights: route around a cut trunk before morning
• Each December the board funds one upgrade

The first four years are free. Unlock 2008–2023 with one payment. No ads, no timers.
