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!

This page is new and still growing. The Committee's assets, studies and Conference materials are currently in production and will be added here as they are published. In the meantime, you can follow the Committee's latest news below.

Panel 15 - UK: status of FTTH roll out

Probably one of the most dynamic markets in Europe, the UK has recently seen a spectacular increase in private initiatives supported by massive investments, which lead FTTH to be rolled out at an unprecedented pace in the past few months.

Despite this tremendous acceleration, the UK is still lagging behind other European countries when it comes to full-fibre coverage. What are the British operators’ strategies to mind this gap? How is the British government supporting the FTTH rollout? How is the investor community reacting to this moving scenario? Learn the latest from this very high-level roundtable with key industry players from the UK fibre market.


Speakers: Catherine Colloms - MD Corporate Affairs at Openreach, Conal Henry - Founder & Chair at Fibrus, Greg Mesch - Chief Executive Officer at CityFibre, Gregory Widroe - Managing Director at Houlihan Lokey, and Matt Agar - Strategy Director at Building Digital UK (BDUK) - moderated by Gita Sorensen - Founder Director at GOS Consulting
