Fiber optic cables, tech that's mind bogglingly powerful, requires exquisite precision, time and expertise to come to fruition as seen by Corning's video and a blurb in Wired.
Fiber-optic cable is made in an almost incomprehensibly precise way. It has to be so pure, so clear, that it can transmit light over many dozens of miles without any boosting or encouragement, and without losing any of the information that has been encoded onto that light. To get that clarity, its manufacturers control every micron and every second of the manufacturing process.
Read the piece in its entirety. America can make sophisticated things without question. The key is to foster the infrastructure needed to make it happen, now. :)
