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 Digital Networks Act: Future-proofing the EU’s digital connectivity

On 18 May, FTTH Council President Francesco Nonno joined the debate shaping the next decade of telecom infrastructure in Europe, alongside policymakers, regulators and industry leaders at one of the key discussions around Digital Network Act.
WIth investment pressure growing and Europe facing increasing competition on digital infrastructure, the discussion focused on how the DNA could shape the next decade of European connectivity and how its ambitions would stand up to real-world challenges.

Two panel debates featuring high-level representatives from EU Member States and EU institutions, civil society and industry examined the DNA’s potential to drive digital transformation, strengthen European competitiveness and deliver benefits for society as a whole.

The event was co-organised by the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union and the General Secretariat of the Council.

A sincere thank you to the organisers for bringing together such an important and timely discussion on the future of Europe’s digital infrastructure.
