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!

Keynote Speech 5 - Marco Obiso, ITU

Connectivity is a global imperative, and fibre is central to achieving inclusive digital development worldwide. In this keynote, the ITU representative presented the global perspective on fibre as a driver of digital transformation, economic resilience, and sustainable development. The speech highlighted international benchmarks, case studies, and policy guidance that can inform and inspire fibre strategies in the CEE region. It also underscored the importance of international cooperation, standards alignment, and capacity building to ensure no one is left behind in the digital era. This keynote placed the regional FTTH efforts within the broader global connectivity agenda, reinforcing fibre’s role as a foundation for digital equity, innovation, and growth on a global scale.
