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 3 - Policy & Regulation

What is the expected impact of the latest set of initiatives from the European Commission on the European FTTH market? Are we on track to meet the Commission's objectives for the digital transformation of Europe by 2030, as spelled out by the "Path to the Digital Decade" policy programme? What are the operators' strategies to support the achievement of such ambitious goals? How are regulators across Europe reacting to this dynamic scenario?

This thought-provoking panel with prominent leaders from the European Commission, BEREC, and senior representatives from major fibre operators will answer these questions and much more, shedding light on the latest policy and regulatory developments affecting the FTTH market.


Speakers: Alex Blowers - Director of Regulatory Affairs at CityFibre, Jakob Greiner - Vice President European Affairs at Deutsche Telekom, Juan Montero Rodil - Chief Public Policy, Competition and Regulatory Officer at Telefónica, Kamila Kloc - Acting Director B, Connectivity – DG CONNECT at European Commission, and Konstantinos Masselos - BEREC Chair 2023 - moderated by Philippe Defraigne - Director at Cullen International
