Not some new fantastic technology, simple economics.

Henry Ford did not come up with any new fantastic technology either (he didn't invent the automobile nor the internal combustion engine), but how different would American life have been if he had listened to the naysayers who told him that there was no point in building millions of autos when there were no roads or gas stations to accomodate them? (Luckily for us, he didn't listen.)

Okay, have it your way.

Don’t let the details get in the way...

Henry Ford made it affordable - the key to his success.

The cost of super fast communications to one’s house isn’t the fiber or technology related to fiber. It’s getting the fiber to your house - which this does absoluty nothing for. Like I said before it is economics. Ford solved the economic side of the equation.
