Its just got nothing to do with “internet”. That is the issue with the headline. Its just some random piece of fiber that isnt even connected to any wider network. Im assuming they just used big ass rolled up rolls of fiber connected to one another to get to the 1800km. There are no end user “internet” applications for it either. The only thing it could be used for is isolated connections between internet hubs or inside datacenters for local network.
Still impressive ofcourse but just doesnt have anything to do with “internet” in the end user sense.
