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.

Insights from FTTH Council Europe President Francesco Nonno on EU Regulation and the Future of Fibre

Francesco Nonno, President of the FTTH Council Europe, in this interview, warns that the proposed deregulation under the Digital Networks Act could put fibre investments at risk. Eliminating current wholesale access rules would give greater power to legacy incumbents and deter new infrastructure players. In the interview, Nonno stresses there is no clear market justification for such deregulation, which could hinder competition and fibre rollout in countries still dependent on copper or FTTC networks. Instead, the FTTH Council advocates for a clear EU-wide copper switch-off target by 2031–2032, aligning with fibre coverage goals and ensuring a level playing field for all network investors.
