This agreement is a continuation of a three-decade long partnership between the two companies. Verizon has not disclosed the financial details of the deal.\n\nUnder the terms of the agreement, Corning will provide over 80 million miles of high-density optical fiber and connectivity solutions between 2027 and 2032. This fiber deployment, according to Verizon, will accelerate broadband expansion for homes and businesses, while also strengthening the high-capacity, low-latency infrastructure required by AI hyperscalers.",
