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.

FTTH coverage in rural and low density areas of Europe is lower than in other regions. Despite the ambitious targets in connectivity set by the European Commission for 2030, deploying fibre in these areas will remain a challenge for most countries for the years to come. How can we ensure that no village is left behind?

Let's hear from the successful experiences of some regional alternative operators, joined on stage by high-level representatives of the investors and regulatory world, debating over the business case of bringing fibre in rural areas.

Speakers: Alexandra Reich - Executive Chairwoman at Speed Connect Austria, Mariam Sulaberidze - CEO at N(N)LE OPEN NET, Pedro Abad - CEO and founder at ASTEO Red Neutra, Peter Hendrick - Chieff Executive Officer at National Broadband Ireland - NBI, and Wojciech Dziomdziora - General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer at Nexera - moderated by Christof Sommerberg - Board Member of the FTTH Council Europe
