Hey, could you tell me if the cable you're talking about is fiber or copper or what? Thanks

I must emphasize that cable is cheap and powerful as compared with low-orbit satellite systems. We fundamentally agree. 20 year longevity for cable seems on the high side, but I dunno. I'm banking on wireless-anywhere simply because the ultimate goal is to be able to carry the internet in your pocket, or drive around with it always on. Think Star Trek;-) Communicators sewn on to our shirts is after all, the end goal, isn't it? -Moose
