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 Council Europe Feedback on White Paper “How to master Europe’s digital infrastructure needs?”

The FTTH Council Europe welcomes the opportunity to give its views on the Commission White Paper. The FTTH Council Europe considers that fibre networks are fundamental to the digital transformation of European economies and that the objectives of the Digital Decade need to be reached in a timely fashion.

To this end, the FTTH Council Europe considers that it is essential to maintain a favourable regulatory framework for fibre investment in a competitive environment. The White Paper should recognise that the existing framework has delivered, and is delivering, good results in terms of fibre deployment and in our view, in Europe, concerns are mostly on the demand side of the fibre market.

The FTTH Council Europe notes that 4 relevant objectives should be at the core of the next legislative and regulatory cycle:

  • Facilitate the deployment of Fibre Networks
  • Increase incentives to invest by reducing uncertainty on the demand side
  • Maintain a competitive environment
  • Support the green transition

Help us create a brighter future!
