it seems like it would be really easy to disrupt or block if someone wanted to.

It’s like a fax machine but instead of modulating sound they are modulating a laser.

It's an infrared LASER, you aren't going to see it. 🙄 It doesn't do well in fog and bad weather. I'll stick with the real Laser Internet, fiber.

Now do you really think people are going to not freak out about the idea of lasers being aimed at their house regardless of what they are? 🤔

You still need electrical to optical conversion then optical to electrical conversion. Bottle necks both ends.
