We know neolithic internet used free air lasers because we haven't found either optical fibre connectors or copper Ethernet in the trenches we dig at neolithic settlements.
Is this a jab at the people who believe Egyptians must have used electric lights because we can't figure out how they lit and ventilated their tombs at the same time during construction?
Back when 10M ethernet was popular, it was pretty easy to wire up something like this with the transceiver (AUI) port... wire the tx to a laser and the rx to a photodiode (or whatever), ???, profit. There's lots of commercial equipment in this space too.
