### @telecom-analog — Estimate — cycle history per independent research; figures to verify at primary archives
From British railways in the 1840s to US telecom in 2001, the script repeats: real transformational tech arrives, demand is genuine but its slope gets over-extrapolated, leverage amplifies an overbuild, first owners' equity is wiped, value migrates up a layer — while the physical asset survives and gets used. The fiber won. Its financiers lost. The asset's usefulness and the investor's recovery are different things.
