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.

FEEDBACK ON HIGH-SPEED BROADBAND IN THE EU - REVIEW OF RULES

The FTTH Council Europe welcomes the decision to revise the Broadband Cost Reduction Directive (BCRD) and believes that with appropriate revisions it can assist the deployment of FTTH across Europe. The FTTH Council is uniquely placed to participate in this survey for a number of reasons, its members are actively involved in actual network deployments and the network design. Those network designs are driven by customers and their desire for cost reduction which may or may not result in a significant overlay of existing networks. The FTTH Council has, since its inception, advocated the reuse of passive infrastructures and the sharing of the terminating segment as a means of enabling efficient FTTH deployments. With the recent pandemic and its effects, the importance of widely available and affordable fibre networks has never been more important and the BCRD can play an important role in delivering that outcome.

Help us create a brighter future!
