Larry Johnson of the Light Brigade briefly describes the temporary museum erected at the 2011 Broadband Properties Summit. The row of signs described the evolution of communications using light; from the development of the laser and fiber optic cable to the integration of these technologies. He talks of the Light Brigade/FTTH Council relationship to provide training for fiber optic professionals and the importance of maintaining certification in a world of ever-changing technologies.
What struck me about this display is how these boards represent a living history; a history which my friends and colleagues are part of in one form or another.
Please share your favorite fiber optic memories in the comment section below.
