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.

Event: Panel session "Exploring the Gigabit Infrastructure Act", during WIK Conference
Speaker: Arturs Alksnis – Public Affairs Director
Date and time: 14 September 2023, 12:00 CEST
Location: Hotel The Dominican - Brussels, Belgium
Organiser: WIK

In the context of WIK's annual conference, happening in Brussels on 13-14 September, our Public Affairs Director Arturs Alksnis will take part in the panel session "Exploring the Gigabit Infrastructure Act". This recent initiative from the European Commission seeks to reduce barriers to the deployment of 5G and fibre networks, by extending permit exemptions, streamlining permit-granting processes and strengthening requirements for network operators and others (including infrastructure companies) to offer access to and exchange information about physical infrastructure. In this session, we debate the provisions and explore the steps national regulatory authorities and municipalities could take to accelerate deployment. Featuring prominent representatives from the telecom industry and the European Commission and moderated by WIK's General Manager Dr Cara Schwarz-Schilling, the session promises to be insightful and of extreme value for all those interested in learning more about the future of gigabit connectivity in the EU.

The full agenda of the two-day event is available at this link. Click here for more information and to register your participation.
