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!

FCGA Global Policy & Regulation Review

The FTTH Councils Global Alliance (FCGA) revelas its "FCGA Global Policy & Regulation Review", a comprehensive review emphasizing the critical role of global policies and regulations in shaping the trajectory of Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) deployment across the globe.

The study delves into various aspects of FTTH deployment, including legal and regulatory frameworks, deployment targets, funding and incentives, competition policy, infrastructure sharing, access to public assets, and streamlining permitting processes. The report offers a detailed analysis of the differing approaches taken by various regions, showcasing both commonalities and the unique challenges they face.


A global webinar discussing the findings of the review will be organized in two sessions on 23rd January 2024 at 11:00–12:00 CET and 17:00–18:00 CET, bringing together FCGA leaders to explore the implications of the review and share insights on accelerating FTTH adoption worldwide. The live webinar will also see the participation of a distinguished guest speaker: Franco Accordino, Head of the “Investment in High-Capacity Networks” unit within the European Commission's Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CNECT).
