Verizon and Corning fiber supply agreement

Overview

Verizon and Corning have entered into a multi-billion-dollar supply agreement to expand fiber broadband and build long-haul network capacity for artificial intelligence. Spanning from 2027 through 2032, the contract involves more than 80 million miles of high-density optical fiber and connectivity solutions.

The agreement aims to support Verizon’s goal of reaching 40–50 million broadband passings while providing the high-capacity, low-latency backbone necessary for AI data center traffic. This expansion follows Verizon’s acquisition of Frontier Communications, which grew its fiber footprint to over 30 million passings. The scale of this contract significantly exceeds a previous 2017 agreement between the two companies, reflecting increased demand for fiber to support AI-driven infrastructure alongside traditional services.
