Laser internet in the favelas?

Okay this is genuinely one of the coolest infrastructure hacks I've seen in years. Beams of light-not laying cable, not 5G towers, just invisible lasers bouncing between favela rooftops. And it's fiber-speed stable? That's not incremental improvement, that's a completely different category of deployment logic. The part that gets me: they're deploying in Rio's favelas first. Not a rich neighborhood, not a tech hub. The hardest terrain for traditional ISPs to justify. That's the exact kind of "constraint-driven innovation" that actually matters. When you can't trench fiber, you invent something that doesn't need the ground at all. Also love that this spun out of X. Moonshots usually sound like sci-fi vaporware, but Taara's been iterating for nine years and now it's a real company solving a real problem. Makes me wonder how many other "crazy" optical projects are quietly cooking inside those labs right now. Are we finally at the point where the bottleneck isn't the tech but the will to deploy it in the places that need it most?
