Buying up fiber wouldn’t be a way to make money in this space. The space is dominated by microwave transmission links as they’re considerably lower latency than fiber.

Microwave, shortwave, and that weird dual-mode laser AOptix thing have been the rule for a bit, although I don't know if the laser thing ever really worked. Maybe enhancing the other things. Probably by now they have their own satellites.
