Part 2/7:
The speaker highlighted longstanding issues with integrating fiber optic and copper wiring systems. Despite decades of attempts spanning over 30 years and billions of dollars invested, the inability to successfully combine these two technologies persisted. The complications of mixing fiber and copper were underscored by recent incidents—such as a helicopter crash and a plane accident—that pointed to fundamental flaws in existing infrastructure and safety protocols. These incidents serve as tangible evidence of the need for upgraded systems.
