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.

Interview with new FTTH Council Europe President Francesco Nonno for Corriere Comunicazioni

This article, published by CorCom on 11 July 2025, is an in-depth interview with Francesco Nonno, the newly appointed President of the FTTH Council Europe and Director of Regulatory Affairs at Open Fiber. Nonno criticizes the premature deregulation proposed in the Digital Networks Act, warning it could undermine investor confidence and hinder full-fiber rollout across Europe. He advocates for regulatory continuity until the copper network phase-out is complete. The interview also highlights the Council's 2025 priorities, including pushing for a coordinated copper switch-off policy, promoting fiber as a sustainability enabler, and ensuring fair access and digital cohesion across all EU territories.
