What the experts believe about fiber optics.

Doesn't the word "wireless" mean "without fiber optic lines everywhere" ?? 5G will kill the need for fiber optic lines IMO.

"Compared to wired cables, fiber optic cables offer higher bandwidth and can transmit data over much greater distances. They are also less susceptible to electromagnetic interference. This all means that fiber optic cable is the perfect vessel for long distance, high-performance data networking and telecommunications.

Optical fiber has played a vital role in making possible the remarkable growth in global communications that has taken place in the last 25 years, and in enabling the use of the Internet by 3.58 billion people as of last year. Going forward, it will be instrumental in delivering innovation in many sectors, supporting new technologies."

"Put simply, you can't have advanced 5G wireless without fiber optic lines everywhere."
