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.

The Central and Eastern European region is witnessing dynamic growth in fibre deployment, but accelerating rollouts and ensuring widespread adoption requires coordinated effort across operators, private investors, and public stakeholders. This opening panel brings together leading operators alongside public and private investors to share their strategies, experiences, and perspectives on building the region’s fibre future. Discussions explored investment models and funding mechanisms, regulatory frameworks, rural and urban deployment challenges, and opportunities for public–private collaboration. Attendees gained candid insights into how financial, regulatory, and technological drivers are shaping FTTH adoption in diverse CEE markets — and what is needed to deliver universal, future-ready fibre networks. Setting the tone for the Congress, this session provided a platform for open, solutions-focused dialogue on the path ahead.
