Laser need LOS in the real sense. Fog, rain, smoke, birds, planes, ...Or you
give them enough power to remove the problem ;-).

Ah, I guess my subconscious desire added that. I have always thought that
lasers backed by RF would be the future of wireless. They'll have to have RF
also for when a bird flies through it.

I don’t see the “on the ground” part:
We've also made a breakthrough in laser
communications technology. We've successfully
tested a new laser that can transmit data at 10 gigabits per second. That's ten
times faster than any previous system, and it can accurately connect with a
point the size of a dime from more than 10 miles away.

It talks about the lasers being able to align to a spot on the
ground "the size of a dime". That seems like drone to ground lasers to
me.

Lasers between drones, RF to ground.
Still probably more challenging in the real world than Facebook is
anticipating. But they also are probably not designing for people who
will complain to the FCC about not getting 99.999% reliability.

The interesting part is the laser working at 10Gbps at 10
miles.
