About the Committee

The Data Centre & Data Centre Interconnection Committee is the FTTH Council Europe's newest committee, established to reflect the Council's expanded remit across data centres and the fibre infrastructure that connects them.

The Committee's current work programme includes a report on hollow core fibre (HCF) and multi-core fibre (MCF), a DCI market study developed with the Board, and updates to the Market Panorama to capture the Council's broader scope. Alongside this, the Committee is developing a programme of educational webinars for members on AI-driven data centres, covering the underlying drivers and market trends, internal data centre architectures and wider interconnection architectures.

The Committee also leads the data centre and interconnection content at the annual FTTH Conference, shaping several hours of programming across the full breadth of the Council's expanded remit.
Further outputs will follow, including new assets, market studies and content developed for the upcoming FTTH Conference. Click here and join us!

The FTTH Council Europe is pleased to bring to you this first-of-its-kind study by Plum Consulting on FTTH adoption drivers and hurdles in Europe.

While we are pleased to see that the FTTH rollout coverage in Europe amounts to 57% and is progressing steadily, the take-up rate is yet to reach the 50% mark, with significant differences at country level. This is where the study comes in as a clarion call on what needs to be done to increase the take-up. By carrying out a thorough analysis of the FTTH Council Europe data and doing a deep dive into 8 selected countries, Plum Consulting team has developed a series of recommendations of measures that both policymakers and industry executives will find useful when considering how to increase the FTTH adoption.

For the FTTH Council Europe this is only the first step in what we see as our industry’s next big challenge. We want to ensure that there is wide awareness about the results of this study, which would pave way for future actions aimed at increasing the FTTH take-up. In our view, high rate of FTTH adoption is key to ensure that our fellow citizens and businesses fully reap the benefits of full fibre connectivity.
