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.

Digital Infrastructure + Investors Committee Working Group of the FTTH Council Europe

Event: Digital Infrastructure + Investors Committee Working Group of the FTTH Council Europe
Speaker: Vincent Garnier – Managing Director, FTTH Council Europe
Date: 25 November 2025
Organiser: FTTH Council Europe / Working Group Digital Infrastructure
Location: Helaba, Main Tower Frankfurt

The growing demand for resilient gigabit networks continued to place significant pressure on Germany’s digital infrastructure strategy. As fibre remains the most future-proof, energy-efficient, and capacity-rich medium, ensuring that policy, investment, and deployment models were aligned became an increasingly urgent priority for national and regional stakeholders.
This joint meeting of the Digital Infrastructure Working Group and the Investors Committee, hosted at the Main Tower in Frankfurt, explored the strategic levers required to accelerate fibre expansion across Germany. The session opened with remarks from Vincent Garnier, who framed the discussion around Europe’s need for coordinated regulatory signals, stable investment conditions, and cooperation models capable of sustaining long-term fibre deployment.
The programme examined critical aspects shaping Germany’s fibre landscape: market analyses on current deployment gaps, customer-experience insights highlighting adoption barriers, and emerging wholesale and cooperation concepts designed to strengthen business cases for operators and investors. The discussions further addressed the financial and rating considerations essential for supporting large-scale fibre projects in a competitive funding environment.
A concluding panel debate provided a forward-looking assessment of what it would take for fibre to regain momentum by 2030, emphasising the importance of aligning market incentives, improving investment frameworks, and fostering collaboration across the ecosystem. Attendees gained a clearer understanding of the economic, regulatory, and operational conditions required for a sustainable and scalable fibre future in Germany.
The meeting closed with networking exchanges, reinforcing the value of cross-industry dialogue at a pivotal moment for Germany’s digital transformation.
