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!

This page is new and still growing. The Committee's assets, studies and Conference materials are currently in production and will be added here as they are published. In the meantime, you can follow the Committee's latest news below.

2026 FTTH Market Panorama - Report by Country

The FTTH Council Europe Market Panorama – By Country Report provide a detailed and comparable view of the development of full-fibre connectivity across Europe, based on data collected as of September 2025. Prepared by the FTTH Council Europe Market Intelligence Committee, with the support of IDATE, these reports draw on a robust bottom-up methodology that combines operator inputs, regulatory sources, and market intelligence. 

Across Europe, the FTTH/B market is entering a new phase. While network rollout has reached high levels of maturity in many countries, the focus is progressively shifting from coverage expansion to network utilisation and monetisation. As highlighted in the Market Panorama, nearly 80% of premises across the EU39 are now covered, yet a significant gap remains between infrastructure availability and active subscriptions. This evolving landscape reveals increasingly heterogeneous market dynamics.

Some countries are approaching full coverage and high penetration levels, driven by strong policy frameworks and competitive ecosystems. Others continue to face structural challenges related to deployment economics, geography, or demand stimulation. Overall, the Country Reports aim to help stakeholders understand each market’s current position and identify the key drivers that will shape the next phase of fibre development in Europe, accelerate take-up, and close the gap between infrastructure availability and active subscriptions.

Help us create a brighter future!
