"... it might not be too difficult to integrate the tech into existing infrastructure."
Just need to dig up all fiber and replace it with new fiber. Does it get any more difficult than that?
- avianlyric 5y agoDepending on how the fiber was installed, you’ll probably be able to swap the fiber by just pulling or blowing new fiber down the existing conduit. You can’t just drop bare fiber in the ground, and cover it up. So pretty much all fiber will probably be inside plastic or metal conduit, which also creates an opportunity to replace it much easier than laying new fiber.

- frosted-flakes 5y agoDo you mean "You can't drop bare fiber"?
- a1369209993 5y ago> You can just drop bear fiber in the ground, and cover it up. You can do this, but it's a bad idea, so I think you meant "can't" (with a unstated "and expect it to work properly, especially long-term").
- avianlyric 5y agoYeah, the most frustrating typo I make almost every day.
- asperous 5y agoIt being the same size means they can just push it through the existing holes to replace cables which is cheaper then digging new holes. But certainly far from cheap or easy
