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.

Webinar on Spectrum Policy & the Future of Enterprise Wi-Fi

Event: Unlocking European Growth: Spectrum Policy and Future of Enterprise Wi-Fi
Speaker: Vincent Garnier - Director General, FTTH Council Europe
Date: 3rd November 2025 
Time: 15.00 - 16.30 CET 
Organiser: Cisco and FTTH Council Europe

Wi-Fi is a cornerstone of enterprise connectivity and was driving Europe’s digital transformation, delivering billions in economic value and supporting the EU's Digital Decade targets. Enabling by robust fibre, public Wi-Fi also provided vital connectivity in essential spaces like hospitals and schools, supporting inclusive growth and strengthening key sectors. Europe’s ability to unlock the full potential of next-generation Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 6E/7) hinged on critical spectrum policy choices. The future of the upper 6 GHz band remained under debate, and the decision was decisive for Europe’s digital competitiveness compared to global regions that had allocated the full band for unlicensed use. This interactive roundtable examined how unlicensed technologies, powered by 6 GHz spectrum, were already enabling transformative use cases across public and enterprise sectors. Attendees joined the discussion to discuss the options on the table and ensure Wi-Fi remained a key driver of growth, innovation, and Europe’s policy goals.

Help us create a brighter future!
