David Soucie: ‘There’s a Reason That You Use Copper Wires’ And Replacing It With Fiber Optics Is Complicated

RUSH EXCERPT:

SOUCIE: “Well, it does, but people try to oversimplify what‘s going on here. You know, you think, well, we replace the wire cables with new infrastructures, but the the actual problem is the way that things are infrastructure together. Who talks to who, when, and even if this was a fully digital system, everything was brand new, you‘d still have new vulnerabilities that you didn‘t have before with the copper wires. There‘s a reason that you use copper wires so that they can‘t be intercepted. They can‘t be changed, they can‘t be modified, they can‘t be hacked. That‘s why the copper wires are there. So that‘s how they stayed there that long. So to change that and still maintain a constant system that‘s not vulnerable to attack is not a simple task. And just the basic structure of how things work together. They‘re interdependent on each other.”
