The FTTH Council Europe has seven active Committees and a Working Group, covering a wide range of fibre-related topics and industry priorities. The Committees and Working Group of the FTTH Council Europe are instrumental in driving the organization’s mission to advance FTTH technology across the continent. By harnessing expertise, shaping policy, strategizing market development, and promoting collaboration, these groups ensure that the Council remains a leading force in the telecommunications industry. Their strategic importance cannot be overstated, as they lay the foundation for a connected, digital Europe where high-speed internet access is a reality for all.

By mean of this series of interviews with Committee and Working Group Chairs, the FTTH Council Europe aims at fostering a sense of community and collaboration among its Members. Committees and Working Group provide a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and collaborative problem-solving. This collective effort not only accelerates innovation but also builds a robust support system for member organizations, enhancing their capabilities and competitiveness in the market. This is way the efforts and engagement of their individual members deserve the spotlight.

In the context of WIK's annual conference, happening in Brussels on 13-14 September, our Public Affairs Director Arturs Alksnis will take part in the panel session "Exploring the Gigabit Infrastructure Act". This recent initiative from the European Commission seeks to reduce barriers to the deployment of 5G and fibre networks, by extending permit exemptions, streamlining permit-granting processes and strengthening requirements for network operators and others (including infrastructure companies) to offer access to and exchange information about physical infrastructure. In this session, we debate the provisions and explore the steps national regulatory authorities and municipalities could take to accelerate deployment. Featuring prominent representatives from the telecom industry and the European Commission and moderated by WIK's General Manager Dr Cara Schwarz-Schilling,  the session promises to be insightful and of extreme value for all those interested in learning more about the future of gigabit connectivity in the EU.
