If you go the "molded to my ear" route, do not forget that your ears
will tend to change over time and these must be replaced periodically
or they'll become uncomfortable and less effective. (I forget what the
recommendation is but I think every 1-2 years at the outside.)

My take here is that I'd rather the FCC just leave it alone and see if
the market doesn't work it out in some reasonable way. That is, to not
even address it in rules, whether accept or prohibit. Just step back

The whole point behind the locking connectors (like the IEC
connectors) is to prevent you from plugging the wrong connectors
together. Not only are the different dimensions, but the prongs are

Basic economics.
MM optics come with looser tolerances and are therefore easier to
produce. The wider core of the fiber and higher dispersion allowances
also mean that the fiber is easier to make. The fiber, though, is the
