There is no advantage for wisps in what was written in the article. In general we're limited by Nyquist's and associated theorems which predict the maximum amount of data we can put into a given wavelength band. That hasn't changed. The speed of light in fiber is NOT why fiber has an

Really cool! Except, Singleton started to lose me when he gave hypothetical uses for the technology. Why does radiowaves have to go the speed if light, for it to pin point a tumor inches away, or why would a pencil beam be more benefical for satelite cell phone technology. Somewhat clueless
