    "excerpt": "The artificial intelligence (AI) build-out has historically focused on the semiconductor sector , driving valuations to historic premiums as capital chased processing power. However, processing capabilities hold limited utility without the physical infrastructure required to transmit staggering data volumes. The optical communications supply chain represents the next essential phase of this investment cycle. Corning Incorporated GLW and AT&T Inc. T recently finalized a multi-year fiber supply agreement valued at more than $3 billion. This contract marks a transition from speculative hardware multiples to the tangible deployment of next-generation networks. As data consumption surges, securing the physical pathways for cloud and AI integration becomes paramount. Investors evaluating infrastructure plays can look to these developments as a roadmap for where institutional capital is flowing next. Moving Capital From Chips to Cables Analyzing the transition from speculative semiconductor multiples to the tangible deployment of next-generation optical networks reveals a changing landscape. Corning operates as a primary bottleneck supplier for telecommunications network expansion and hyperscaler data center infrastructure. AT&T's recent $3 billion commitment follows a similar multi-billion-dollar fiber supply contract with Verizon VZ and prior commitments, including a $6 billion...",
