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!

Open Access Committee: From Conference Debate to New Initiatives

Jul 24, 2026
Committee News | Open Access Working Group |

The Open Access Committee had a strong presence at the FTTH Conference, hosting a targeted workshop with case studies on how standards and technology are enhancing the Open Access customer experience, and delivering a panel session that brought together investors, Tier-1 multinational operators, aggregators and a national Open Access provider to debate what is required to unleash the power of Open Access.

The Committee is now progressing several key initiatives. It is drafting a paper on Open Access strategies aimed at unlocking ecosystem value while safeguarding investment, reviewing models across Europe and assessing progress to date to help shape future direction. In parallel, work has begun on a Europe-wide database of Open Access providers, mapping their products and services to improve transparency and enable better industry collaboration.
