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.

Insights from the Committee

 

 

Response to the consultation on the European Commission’s draft Guidelines on State aid for broadband networks

The FTTH Council Europe sees positive elements in the draft revised State Aid Guidelines, notably in the area of vouchers as there is an expectation that as the availability of connectivity reaches critical mass (and the FTTH Council’s own research sees 85%-90% availability across the EU in the next five years[1]), resources and attention will shift much more to take-up and adoption than supply side measures.
