Line of sight lasers, a completely ridiculous concept. Theres way too many things that can disrupt the signal. Maybe this can do better in Arizona...and all the people will walk around with saftey glasses. LOL |

Instead of worrying about losing your connection due to atmospheric conditions. Or better yet, shoot the laser through small wires of glass.
