I predict that "fiber" will soon be added to the list of words people use wrongly. Like WiFi, broadband, satellite. It will probably become synonymous with gigabit. And since people say WiFi when they mean Internet, and satellite when they mean antenna, people will probably say things like "I got new WiFi, now I have a fiber satellite". Oh, and people say modem when they mean router, which Google Fiber avoided by giving you a "Network Box". -----Original Message----- From: Seth Mattinen Sent: Friday, August 26, 2016 11:07 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Google Fiber information On 8/26/16 08:47, Bill Prince wrote: > Someone please explain what a "fiber optic antenna" is? > > /"Alphabet is also actively exploring how it can solve the cost of > laying cable through using less expensive technology and existing > infrastructure.
