The technology trickles down to other spaces as a result of that investment. You could make the same argument about ARPANET only being funded because the government saw military command and control applications it (They weren’t funding it out of charity). Being able to move bits around 3ms faster is a VERY big deal for scientific research, medical technology, video delivery, defense, weather forecasting, and in so many other spaces that benefit humanity.

- capableweb 6y agoIt would be a big deal if they had a wire you usually transmit at 6ms with, but they found a way of doing the same distance but 3ms. But no, they literally brute forced their way through a mountain to make the distance shorter, because they had the money to do it and want more. Being able to spend money on a operation to make the cable distance shorter is hardly a very big deal for anyone else but nature and the company doing it.
