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!

Panel 14 - Open Access / Network sharing

With the emergence of multiple open-access operators and the development of network-sharing agreements between many European internet service providers, the fixed-line telecom landscape has gone through considerable changes. This obviously does not come without challenges, that this session will address.

Join this panel session, where the CEOs from some European open-access operators illustrate the business rationale behind opting for shared networks. Joined on stage by senior representatives of the digital infrastructure industry and the regulatory world, the panel will also touch upon the policy opportunities and roadblocks regulating the network-sharing market.


Speakers: Alain Meller - Deputy CEO, Business Development & Operations at SETICS,  Andreas Waber, CEO at Swiss Fibre Net AG,  José Antonio Vázquez Blanco - CEO at Onivia,  Marta Wojciechowska, CEO at Fiberhost,  and Robert Mourik - Chairperson at Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg) - moderated by Eric Joyce - Board Member at FTTH Council Europe
