Probably more of a question for a university professor or something but I think it is an extreamly important technology because unlike copper wiring, fiber opticals are not suceptible to electical or magnetic interference. Also, with the development of LASER and LED technologies, optical fibers use far less electicity and interpreting information received is faster than copper. There is also, theoretically, no limit to the ammount of data that can be sent accross a single fiber.
