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.

What is happening in the Belgian market and what are successful use cases? What is going to happen in the coming years in terms of fibre deployment? What are the key technological evolutions? What bandwidths and service quality can be delivered on the networks of the future? What is the status of regulation and the role of the different governments in Belgium? How can we ensure the rural parts are not forgotten? What are other challenges Belgian players face in their ambition to roll out fibre? What are the practical day-to-day challenges of actually installing that fibre in the streets? Can AI help to speed up fiber deployments? These are the questions that FITCE's event "Fiber for BE" answered with the help of a prominent speaker line-up, representing the entire value chain. Our Director General Vincent Garnier contributed to the discussion with some fact-based insights from our latest market reports during his presentation, where he took stock of the Belgian fibre market in comparison to EU trends and ambitions for digital connectivity by 2030.
