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!

Brussels, 23rd January 2026 - The FTTH Council Europe welcomes the Digital Networks Act as put forward by the European Commission.

The mission of the FTTH Council Europe is to see the widespread availability and use of FTTH in Europe as quickly as possible. It is therefore important to ensure that the regulatory framework incentivises investment and fosters effective competition. These two objectives must remain at the core of any access policy.

The FTTH Council Europe positively welcomes the proposal for the switch-off of copper networks. The process strikes the right balance between the need to incentivise the take-up of future-proof networks, the necessity to consider national specificities, and avoiding unintended consequences for consumers. We are convinced that copper switch-off is an important driver for investments and that it will positively contribute to the competitiveness of the EU, supporting the digital transition and the enhancement of the Single Market. Therefore, we invite the co-legislators to support the European Commission approach on this topic.
