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.

Panel 4 - Policy & Regulation

As fibre deployment accelerates across Europe and beyond, policy and regulation are playing an increasingly decisive role in shaping market outcomes. From investment incentives and state aid to competition rules, access obligations, and permitting, regulatory choices will determine the pace, scale, and sustainability of future fibre networks.

This session brings together policymakers, regulators, and industry leaders to examine how regulatory frameworks can better support long-term investment while preserving fair competition. The discussion will address current regulatory challenges, upcoming policy shifts, and the need for greater alignment between public objectives and private capital.

Designed for senior stakeholders, this session provides critical insight into how policy decisions today will influence fibre rollout, market structure, and digital competitiveness in the years ahead.
