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!

The Digital Networks Act: Future-proofing the EU’s digital connectivity

On 18 May, FTTH Council President Francesco Nonno joined the debate shaping the next decade of telecom infrastructure in Europe, alongside policymakers, regulators and industry leaders at one of the key discussions around Digital Network Act.
WIth investment pressure growing and Europe facing increasing competition on digital infrastructure, the discussion focused on how the DNA could shape the next decade of European connectivity and how its ambitions would stand up to real-world challenges.

Two panel debates featuring high-level representatives from EU Member States and EU institutions, civil society and industry examined the DNA’s potential to drive digital transformation, strengthen European competitiveness and deliver benefits for society as a whole.

The event was co-organised by the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union and the General Secretariat of the Council.

A sincere thank you to the organisers for bringing together such an important and timely discussion on the future of Europe’s digital infrastructure.

Help us create a brighter future!
