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.

FTTH Council Europe Welcomes the DNA

Brussels, 23rd January 2026 - The FTTH Council Europe welcomes the Digital Networks Act as put forward by the European Commission.

The mission of the FTTH Council Europe is to see the widespread availability and use of FTTH in Europe as quickly as possible. It is therefore important to ensure that the regulatory framework incentivises investment and fosters effective competition. These two objectives must remain at the core of any access policy.

The FTTH Council Europe positively welcomes the proposal for the switch-off of copper networks. The process strikes the right balance between the need to incentivise the take-up of future-proof networks, the necessity to consider national specificities, and avoiding unintended consequences for consumers. We are convinced that copper switch-off is an important driver for investments and that it will positively contribute to the competitiveness of the EU, supporting the digital transition and the enhancement of the Single Market. Therefore, we invite the co-legislators to support the European Commission approach on this topic.
