minus-squareIlovethebomb@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up7·16 hours agoI wonder how much 40km of fiber optic cable costs?
minus-squarearamova@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up9·15 hours agoLess than a Javelin Missile. SM fiber is dirt cheap, they don’t need to wrap it in kevlar like you’d find in data centers ironically enough, it’s just a strand or two of thinly jacketed single mode fiber. Only has to survive the one flight, be light enough and long enough.

Cheap fiber is about $0.40/m.
