While I agree with you Mark that any practical technology should be used first to extend global communications in the 
first place, My goal of fiber water and power to every human remains.  

SMF28 has shown to be the only physical safe bet over half a century now, and I feel like we owe our customers a 
future.

But why would the goal be fiber to every household? There are other ways to deliver good internet. In fact all of 
the major platforms can do so: fiber, coax, DSL, fixed wireless, 4G / 5G. The fiber platform will do so naturally, 
the others may require some extra investment but are still options.

I think the goal to get fibre to all corners should be maintained. However, one has to remain practical and use the 
most appropriate alternative, if fibre is not feasible.



Of course there are developing countries where the goal is any internet at all. I hope that is not the case for US 
broadband.

I have often been surprised about the quality of the Internet in "developed" environments :-).
