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

 

 

Investors Committee Appoints New Acting Chair and Sets Ambitious Agenda for 2026

The Investors Committee has appointed Joeri Van Bogaert (Deutsche GigaNetz GmbH) as acting Chair, serving until the Spring General Assembly 2026. The Committee encourages FTTH Council Europe members to actively support its work, reinforcing the importance of a strong and aligned investment narrative for the fibre sector.

Looking ahead to H1 2026, the Committee will focus on finalising a refreshed Investment Narrative for fibre, building on workshops held in Q4 2025 in London and Frankfurt. This effort will progress through a draft white paper, supported by a member survey and follow-up discussions to gather broad industry input.

A key milestone will be an Investors Committee workshop at the FTTH Conference in London, focusing on the agreed Investment Narrative and potential solutions to unlock investment, including government guarantees, investment vouchers, copper switch-off, and improved harmonisation and efficiency in permitting and construction procedures.

The Committee will also develop its 2026–2027 working plan, incorporating insights from the London workshop and questionnaire results, while strengthening collaboration with member companies and external partners. In addition, an external workshop in Germany is planned, in cooperation with BREKO, BUGLAS, VATM, and the Policy and Regulation Committee, to address the German investment climate and engage with government stakeholders.

Help us create a brighter future!
