The summit, which gathered together over 250 representatives from fibre leading operators, partners, investors and authorities, touched upon several topics of interest for the acceleration of fibre networks in the country. Our President's speech took stock of the current FTTH/B market figures in Europe, with particular focus on the balance between deployment and take-up.
