Corning Wins Amazon AI Fiber Deal; GLW Faces Next Hurdle
Amazon said Monday it struck a multiyear, multibillion-dollar deal with Corning to provide optical fiber, cable, and connectivity gear for its U.S. data centers. The agreement gives Corning a new customer as the AI push changes the business. Corning said it will mean 1,000 skilled jobs at its North Carolina plants, support for hundreds more in construction, and increased fiber-optic training. AWS CEO Matt Garman said the deal will help build “long-term careers.”
