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 2 - German CEO panel

With over 30 million households yet to be connected to fibre, Germany is arguably the most important FTTH market in Europe. With the help of a unique speaker line-up, representing CEOs from major German fibre operators and the national regulator, we will explore the unique characteristics of this rapidly evolving market, including strategies to intensify rollout and ensure adoption, the contribution of private investments, and the role of regulation in achieving the ambitious objective of bringing fibre to every household in Germany by 2030. 

Join us for a thought-provoking and informative panel session that will shed light on the state of FTTH in Germany, and the opportunities and challenges it presents for operators, investors, policymakers, and end-users alike. 


Speakers: Srini Gopalan - Vorstand Telekom Deutschland, Deutsche Telekom AG at Deutsche Telekom, Michael Jungwirth - Member of the Executive Committe Group Public Policy & Regulatory Director at Vodafone Germany, Klaus Müller - President at Bundesnetzagentur, Jan Georg Budden - CEO and Founder at Deutsche GigaNetz GmbH and Andreas Pfisterer - Chief Executive Officer at Deutsche Glasfaser Management GmbH - moderated by Vincent Garnier - Director General at the FTTH Council Europe
