Radio waves can easily hit miles of coverage. The alignment of highly directional radio antennas can be very difficult. When it rains (or even just windy) performance can vary dramatically. Lasers are even more directional, which is good for reducing noisy neighbors. But the farther the range the more difficult it is to hit a target. At a mile away it would be extremely difficult. In rural areas, we are often talking miles between farmers, let alone to internet POC.
