AT&T commitment to fiber deployment prompts major manufacturing investment by Corning
AT&T is working to deploy fiber at a massive scale with plans to cover 30 million locations by 2025. Fiber manufacturer Corning, based on a commitment from AT&T, today announced it will open a new facility in Arizona to keep up with “record demand.” Fiber is the backbone of telecommunications networks and, as such, is the foundational piece of extending connectivity to all parts of the country, a major priority for the private and public sectors.
In an email Q&A, RCR Wireless News got more context on AT&T fiber plans in the context of bridging the digital divide from company President of Broadband Access and Adoption Jeff Luong.
