“The FTTXcellence Award has recognized outstanding and deserving

and we expect the same quality of nominations for the seventh
annual award,” said Clark Kinlin, president and CEO of Corning
Cable Systems. “As the leader in passive solutions for FTTx,
Corning is proud to recognize those who lead to its success.”
“The success of FTTx within the U.S. broadband stimulus program
has highlighted this technology’s strength in providing high-speed
services to homes and businesses across North America,” added
Stephen Hardy, editorial director and associate publisher of
Lightwave, which has been the leading source of technical
information for optical communications strategists worldwide for
more than 25 years. “We at Lightwave are pleased to work with
Corning to recognize those who have used FTTx to bring the benefits
of broadband services to consumers and other end-users.”
To be eligible for the award, candidates must be nominated by a

technology development; politicians or other policymakers who have

arena; and other deserving individuals. You may submit nominations
