AI has moved beyond experimentation for forward-looking fiber providers. The real question is no longer whether AI can automate tasks. It is how organizations can leverage it securely and at scale to operate with greater consistency, confidence, and predictability, so providers of any size can compete and win across residential, business, MDU, and community markets.

In this episode of Fiber for Breakfast, Michael Weening, CEO of Calix, joins Gary Bolton, President and CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association, to discuss how providers are building secure agentic workflows and evolving the operating model required to compete and win in the AI era. The conversation will explore how providers are achieving early wins by scaling expertise, accelerating differentiated subscriber experiences, creating new capacity for growth, and delivering more predictable business outcomes.
