The objective of this committee is to help Communication Service Providers avoid churn & create revenue opportunities through the provision of enhanced user experience.

While more and more households have access to full-fibre network, it becomes crucial to avoid home connectivity becoming a bottle neck and that the new gigabit services can efficiently reach end user devices without degradation of speed or performance.

The In-Home Broadband Excellence committee addresses the following questions:

how to provide, manage and monitor ‘Quality of Experience’ for the end-user
how to monetise value-added services and reduce costs
how to leverage standards and provide pointers to industry fora

You can expect multiple initiatives from this dynamic group, such as the In-Home Broadband Excellence Guide, available for every member of the FTTH Council Europe and sold to non-members at a price of €36 inc. VAT* una tantum, intended to help Communication Service Providers understand the topic of ‘In-home Broadband Excellence’ and optimize their business strategies to reap the benefits of fibre-based connectivity delivered to end-users' premises.

The In-Home Broadband Excellence committee is also very much engaged in the organisation of workshops at the annual FTTH Conference, as well webinars and other communications.

High levels of FTTH coverage are achievable with bold decisions by policymakers

Society and the economy have become reliant on the availability of high-quality broadband. In many European countries there is extensive coverage of fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) infrastructure capable of providing broadband at gigabit speeds. However, commercial investment to provide FTTH coverage to every premises has its limitations and it is appropriate for public funding to be provided to support the commercial business case. At this point, it is necessary, or at least good practice (depending on jurisdiction), for governments to apply the European Commission broadband State-aid guidelines to develop publicly funded broadband intervention schemes in their respective countries with the aim of achieving Digital Decade targets of 100% coverage of Very High Capacity Networks (VHCN) by 2030. These schemes should reflect the guidelines’ rules including technology neutrality, wholesale services, and least intervention necessary. In addition, and crucially, the foundation for any broadband intervention scheme needs to be based on a carefully considered government approach to delivery. Policy makers need to consider a wide range of issues including local market conditions and operator strategies, the local regulatory environment, investor perspective, different technology capabilities that will influence technical specifications and service level requirements, amongst many other factors. This perspective will identify critical success factors and highlight experience from broadband intervention schemes that have led to high levels of FTTH coverage.
