It's still unlikely to succeed, as the required precision for multiple simultaneous data streams is quiet significant. Nonetheless, it's theoretically possible. Just not economically useful, as cables are inherently cheaper for the same amount of data transmitted. I'm not saying that these won't exist, they already do to some degree with Starlink after all... I'm just saying that this tech is highly unlikely to replace the backbone infrastructure, which seacables are.
- buran77 4y ago> It's still unlikely to succeed We can't possibly imagine now what can succeed in 100 years because we can't even conceive what kind of tech or societal developments will happen over that period.
