$10 USDC to whoever can find me a chart of miles of fiber optics cables in existing over the last 50 years.

Y axis: some measure of how much cable exists
X axis: time

First started in 1988, this seems to have # of cables.

Dotcom era tripled build numbers from the prior year (99/00)

This chart doesn’t represent the shockingly high investments made in fiber optics during the cycle of the dot com bubble. They were mind blowing.
