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.

Broadband Breakfast Live Online: Europe's Tech and Telecom Environment

Event: Broadband Breakfast Live Online
Speaker: Vincent Garnier - Director General, FTTH Council Europe
Moderator: CEO Drew Clark
Date: 22nd October, 2025
Time: 12:00 p.m
Location: Live Online
Organiser: Broadband Breakfast


Europe had long sought a "third way" in digital governance, aiming to strike a balance between market competition and robust consumer protection. However, recent major legislative efforts-including the European Union’s Digital Marketing Act of 2023 and other telecom regulations-had raised a critical question: Were these policies inadvertently forcing Europe and its businesses into sluggish growth?

Vincent Garnier of the FTTH Council Europe and other experts joined for a lively debate to discuss Europe's tech and telecom regulatory environment and what the continent needed to do if it was to catch up globally. The discussion covered the impact of the EU's regulatory framework on telecom investment and the acceleration of full-fibre deployment, providing insight into the challenges of balancing digital values with the necessity of economic scale and growth.
