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.

FTTH Council Europe joins joint statement calling for stronger recognition of Wi-Fi in the Digital Networks Act

Committee News | Policy & Regulation Committee |

FTTH Council Europe has joined a broad group of organisations from the European connectivity ecosystem in a joint statement calling for stronger recognition of Wi-Fi in the EU Digital Networks Act.

The statement underlines that fibre and Wi-Fi are deeply complementary technologies: fibre brings high-capacity connectivity to buildings, while Wi-Fi distributes that connectivity indoors, where the vast majority of user data is consumed.

Together with the other signatories, FTTH Council Europe calls on co-legislators to strengthen Articles 17, 27 and 28 of the Digital Networks Act to better recognise licence-exempt spectrum and dynamic sharing as strategic components of Europe’s digital infrastructure.
