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.

Panel 7 - Towards FTTH maturity, what is next?

As countries around Europe continue to invest in full fibre coverage, it is important to consider what comes next: what happens when a market approaches 90% FTTH coverage? What are the next goals and challenges for all stakeholders as they adjust to a new paradigm?

This panel session brings together prominent experts of different backgrounds from the telecom industry, to discuss the experiences and perspectives of countries already facing these issues. Be prepared for a thought-provoking discussion on how telecom operators, investors, and regulators alike shall adapt their strategies to look beyond the priorities of today.
