[time-nuts] Smart fiber-optic cable ( a reference to Hp's smart clock )

[Stanley]

If a fiber-optic cable had temperature sensors either installed with or embedded inside of this could make for better modeling changes in delay making more accurate transfer of time and frequency possible. With fiber to tower installs now under way to provide more data at cell towers why not backup GPS frequency and time transfer with the same medium ? Would this also increase the data rate of the cable ? That is faster rates due to the better timing uncertainty.
