minus-square@Ilovethebomb@lemm.eelinkfedilink8•4 months agoI wonder how much 40km of fiber optic cable costs?
minus-square@aramova@infosec.publinkfedilink11•4 months 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.
