The FTTH Council Europe has been monitoring annually the evolution of full-fibre deployment throughout Europe since 2012. This essential work has been driven by the Market Intelligence Committee which publishes our flagship report FTTH/B Market Panorama, complete with FTTH Forecasts for Europe. The survey is commissioned through an external partner and the role of the Committee is to complete and refine these data based on the comprehensive input coming from the network of experts from our 150 members active in all European countries.

FTTH members have access to a more detailed version of the report with granular information regarding the individual FTTH markets in each of the 39 countries surveyed.

Two more reports have been produced under initiative of the Market Intelligence Committee, and launched during the last FTTH Virtual Conference 2021: the latest figures of the FTTH Forecasts for 2021 and 2026 and an overview of fibre deployments in rural areas.

The Market Intelligence Committee is also involved in other studies such as Copper Switch Off, Best Practices in Fibre advertising and the Socio Economic Impact of FTTH.

Copper switch-off: European experience and practical considerations (update 2020)

This study provides a summary of the findings of research conducted by WIK-Consult in Q3 2020 on the status of copper switch-off in 10 European countries, together with an analysis of the opportunities and challenges associated with migrating to modern fibre networks, and possible implications for policy-makers and regulators, in light of the implementation of the EU Electronic Communications Code1 and revision of the EC Recommendations concerning “Next Generation Access”. Findings are based on questionnaires and interviews with selected stakeholders and build on an earlier study by WIK-Consult on copper switch-off which was completed in February 20192 and presented at the FTTH Council Europe conference in March 2019 in Amsterdam.
