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.

FEEDBACK ON HIGH-SPEED BROADBAND IN THE EU - REVIEW OF RULES

The FTTH Council Europe welcomes the decision to revise the Broadband Cost Reduction Directive (BCRD) and believes that with appropriate revisions it can assist the deployment of FTTH across Europe. The FTTH Council is uniquely placed to participate in this survey for a number of reasons, its members are actively involved in actual network deployments and the network design. Those network designs are driven by customers and their desire for cost reduction which may or may not result in a significant overlay of existing networks. The FTTH Council has, since its inception, advocated the reuse of passive infrastructures and the sharing of the terminating segment as a means of enabling efficient FTTH deployments. With the recent pandemic and its effects, the importance of widely available and affordable fibre networks has never been more important and the BCRD can play an important role in delivering that outcome.
