SUMMARY:FFB 2026 Week 32: Beyond the Build: Monetizing Fiber for Long-Term Advantage
DESCRIPTION:FFB 2026 Week 32: Beyond the Build: Monetizing Fiber for Long-Term Advantage\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArtificial intelligence is transforming telecom networks—from how they are designed and operated to how service providers optimize performance\, As fiber networks mature\, the challenge is no longer just deployment – it’s maximizing value\, differentiation\, and long-term scalability. In this episode\, Darren Farnan\, General Manager of United Fiber joins Gary Bolton\, President & CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association to explore how providers can deliver ARPU growth through deeper residential and commercial service adoption\, while enhancing customer satisfaction. Darren will share how United Fiber is competing and winning in an increasingly crowded market by leaning into local advantage\, transparent pricing\, and superior customer experience. Finally\, they’ll dive into the role of XGS-PON and multi-gig upgrades in future-proofing networks and enabling new revenue opportunities in the next era of fiber broadband. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith Special Guest \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n \n		\n					\n				Register Now

SUMMARY:FFB 2026 Week 34: The Predictability Imperative: How AI Is Helping Fiber Providers Compete in an Uncertain Market
DESCRIPTION:FFB 2026 Week 34: The Predictability Imperative: How AI Is Helping Fiber Providers Compete in an Uncertain Market\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAI 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. \n\n\nIn 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. \n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith Special Guest \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n \n		\n					\n				Register Now
