Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) and Lightwave, a unit of
business-to-business media and information company PennWell
Corporation, today announced the winner of the fifth annual
FTTXcellence Award. Jim Hansen of EMBARQ in Overland Park, Kan., is
the recipient of the award, which honors an individual for his or
her contributions to the deployment of optical access networks in
North America. Jim Hansen, senior vice president of Network
Services at EMBARQ, was praised for his contributions toward the
advancement of fiber to the home (FTTH), specifically with regard
to its adoption, deployment and marketplace education. Under
Hansen�s leadership, EMBARQ�s network services organization
embraced FTTH as the deployment method for new service addresses
and selective over-build locations. EMBARQ�s adoption of FTTH is a
direct result of the efforts and unique approach established by
Hansen�s organization, deploying FTTH solutions in a way that
maximizes value for both EMBARQ and its customers. In addition,
Hansen continues to coordinate information exchanges through
meetings and summits with other service providers as a forum to
share common FTTH experiences, concerns and potential areas of
partnership. The nomination committee selected Hansen from a pool
of highly qualified candidates across several industry segments,
all of whom were nominated by their peers for the award. He
received the award today during a ceremony at the FTTH Conference
in Nashville, Tenn. At the ceremony, a donation was made in his
name to One Economy Corporation, a national non-profit organization
created to maximize the potential of technology to help low-income
families build assets and raise their standard of living. �Jim
Hansen is a visionary and knowledgeable advocate for the advantages
that FTTx networks will continue to bring consumers and service
providers,� said Clark Kinlin, president and CEO of Corning Cable
Systems. �We congratulate Jim Hansen on this honor.� "FTTx
technology promises to provide a wealth of new, high-speed services
to homes and businesses across North America,� said Stephen Hardy,
editorial director and associate publisher of Lightwave. "We at
Lightwave are pleased to join Corning in recognizing Jim Hansen,
who has been a leader in bringing these benefits to consumers and
other end users." �It is an honor to represent the men and women at
EMBARQ who plan and build the network to give our customers the
ability to receive the latest in communications services,� said
Hansen. �EMBARQ prides itself on innovation that makes sense and
delivers value to our customers. This award is testimony to that
effort.� For more information about Hansen and the FTTXcellence
