Zoomy Communications Shares Benefits of Corning Total Access Program(SM) (TAP) with Its Customers; ZoomyCo Becomes Newest Member of the Selective Corning Total Access Program.

HICKORY, N.C. -- Corning Cable Systems, part of Corning Incorporated's (NYSE: GLW) Telecommunications segment, announces Zoomy Communications (ZoomyCo) as the newest member of the selective Corning Total Access Program(SM) (TAP).

Corning's TAP provides highly qualified design, engineering, furnishing and installation companies with the tools necessary to ensure successful fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments. Certified TAP members receive all-inclusive access to Corning's innovative and reliable FTTH solution. After completing specialized training in the installation of optical access networks, TAP members are able to offer their customers up to a 10-year extended product warranty on complete Corning FTTH solutions (drop cables and assemblies carry a three year warranty).

ZoomyCo was founded in 2002 and has quickly become a leader in providing turnkey FTTH services for the real estate development industry. ZoomyCo has provided FTTH services for more than 20 real estate communities and has provided FTTH engineering services for some of the largest municipal FTTH projects in the country.

"ZoomyCo and Corning are active participants in the FTTH industry, and we wanted to collaborate with a company that shares our commitment to excellence, professionalism, quality and reliability as well as our vision for this industry," said Diane Kruse, chief executive officer of ZoomyCo.

"There are a number of companies that are entering the FTTH market, many of whom have never deployed FTTH. Access to ZoomyCo's engineers, technicians and project management resources, coupled with Corning's quality products and product warranties, ensures a successful deployment of FTTH," Kruse said.

"ZoomyCo is a leader in the FTTH market and a very welcome addition to the Total Access Program," said Bernhard Deutsch, director of market development for Corning Cable Systems. "ZoomyCo provides the turnkey services for FTTH so the developer can focus on his business - developing communities and homes. Working together, ZoomyCo and Corning can bring the advantages of FTTH to communities across the country."
