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.

 

*This price includes 21% VAT applicable in Belgium. If you are purchasing on behalf of a company based outside of Belgium you will not be required to pay VAT. For all UK and EC Member state registered companies please have your VAT number to include when purchasing

 

 

Investor Committee Leadership Transition and Strategic Outlook

First of all, a big thank you to Tom Miller (HCOB), who led the Investor Committee over the past four years. He will be fondly remembered for his outstanding speaking skills, which captivated audiences at numerous conferences in recent years. Tom gave this committee a strong voice and the visibility it rightly deserved.

A new Chair of the Investor Committee was elected at the last Assembly in early June. In the initial weeks, the focus will be on how the Investor Committee can help reposition fibre as a reputable and trustworthy asset. In the coming days and weeks, the Chair will reach out to members—primarily CFOs and treasurers from ISPs, as well as members with financial backgrounds, such as representatives from banks.

Preparations are underway for in-person meetings in Q4 at various locations (London during the November Assembly, Frankfurt in November, and Paris & Madrid—TBD). These meetings will bring together stakeholders from the finance community to gather insights, perspectives, and reflections. Discussions will also take into account the outcomes of the recent Strategy Meeting with FTTH Council Europe Board Members and Committee Chairs. Banks and law firms are being considered as potential hosts for these events, and initial commitments have already been secured.

Another important topic is the close collaboration with other committees. To position fibre as a long-term infrastructure asset, it's essential to engage closely with areas such as Open Access, ESG/Sustainability, and Market Intelligence.

There is much to do—and we look forward to the work ahead!

Help us create a brighter future!
