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!

Cullen International Anniversary Conference Examined the Future of Europe’s Digital Landscape

Forty years after the founding of Cullen International, the organisation hosted its anniversary conference on 23 June, bringing together regulators, policymakers, industry leaders, and international stakeholders to discuss the evolution of telecoms regulation and the future of Europe’s digital landscape.

The conference explored key challenges surrounding connectivity policy, investment, digital regulation, and Europe’s broader competitiveness in an increasingly complex geopolitical environment.

Francesco Nonno, Vice-President of FTTH Council Europe, spoke during the session “Delivering Europe’s connectivity ambitions”. His intervention focused on the role of public policy and regulatory frameworks in supporting investment in fibre infrastructure as a foundation for Europe’s digital future.

The programme also included discussions on the EU’s regulatory approach, digital governance, and the future direction of telecoms policy in Europe.

Many thanks to Cullen International for organising this valuable occasion for dialogue and exchange.
