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!

Policy & Regulation Committee: Advocacy on the Digital Networks Act and Cybersecurity Act

Jul 24, 2026
Committee News | Policy & Regulation Committee |

The Policy & Regulation Committee has worked extensively on the European Union's legislative proposals. For the fibre industry, the principal legislative files at present are the Digital Networks Act and the revision of the Cybersecurity Act.

On the Digital Networks Act, the Committee has developed and finalised its amendments to the draft act, which will now serve as the basis for advocacy work with the co-legislators, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union. Drawing on the valuable input of a technical ad hoc committee, the Committee is also preparing a detailed policy response on the Cybersecurity Act.

Both activities will continue throughout the third quarter, as the two drafts are now in the parliamentary process. In its last session, the Committee appointed a Vice-Chair. Our sincere thanks go to Roel van Kessel for taking on these responsibilities.
