EMP effects were the real reason for fiber optics. They do not even propagate lightning strikes.

That's affirmative. This is not new. The military has been engaged in EMP hardening since I can recall, back to the early 70's.
Our consumer goods have become more vulnerable and the consumer market has never addressed the issue. I suppose in the case of our infrastructure that creates a demand for shielding and hardening, but as another Freeper posted earlier, that isn't all that difficult.

Yep, the U.S. military has been shielding its electronic equipment, satellites, missile guidance systems, and IT networks against EMPs ever since the mid-1950s.
This article is nothing new.
