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 the Committee

 

 

Policy & Regulation Committee Advances Dialogue on Digital Networks Act at FTTH Conference 2026

At the FTTH Conference 2026, the Policy & Regulation Committee hosted a well-attended workshop addressing key aspects of the upcoming Digital Networks Act (DNA).

The first session focused on the Harmonised Access Product (HAP), featuring discussions with representatives from the European Commission, ecta, and Iliad, exploring how harmonised access frameworks can support a more competitive and efficient fibre market.

The second session examined the connection between the upcoming Cybersecurity Act (v2) and its link to the DNA, highlighting the growing importance of aligning security frameworks with digital infrastructure regulation. The Committee extends its thanks to contributors from SIRO, Adtran, and Bird & Bird for their valuable insights and engagement.

Looking ahead, the Committee’s work in the coming months will be strongly focused on the DNA. This includes preparing a contribution to the European Commission’s public consultation, as well as developing proposed amendments to support discussions with the European Parliament and the Council of the EU.

These efforts underline the Committee’s commitment to shaping a balanced and effective regulatory framework to accelerate fibre deployment across Europe.

Help us create a brighter future!
