Fiber-optics are one of the fastest types of network communication and data transfer options. This uses light pulses to send signals across glass or plastic fibers. Nothing is faster than light correct?
Currently we lagging behind many countries and our networks are insecure because of this.
Building a network based on fiber-optics could create jobs in the technology sector and bring the United States of America to the top in telecommunications/network capacity (or speed by which you transfer information). We would be more secure physically.
Downloading a movie, a game, or that 500 page document will be much faster. Investing in American industries for the materials and technology, such as Corning Inc., would bring back jobs and the demand for an education into the United States.
