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 4 - Policy & Regulation

As fibre deployment accelerates across Europe and beyond, policy and regulation are playing an increasingly decisive role in shaping market outcomes. From investment incentives and state aid to competition rules, access obligations, and permitting, regulatory choices will determine the pace, scale, and sustainability of future fibre networks.

This session brings together policymakers, regulators, and industry leaders to examine how regulatory frameworks can better support long-term investment while preserving fair competition. The discussion will address current regulatory challenges, upcoming policy shifts, and the need for greater alignment between public objectives and private capital.

Designed for senior stakeholders, this session provides critical insight into how policy decisions today will influence fibre rollout, market structure, and digital competitiveness in the years ahead.
