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.

Deployment & Operations Committee: 2026/2027 Session Underway

Jul 24, 2026
Committee News | Deployment & Operations Committee |

The D&O committee held the first committee meeting of the new 2026/2027 session with several goals in mind.    

1) Identify the three key areas of focus for the coming year, these have been identified as Network Resilience, HFC Migration and Optical LAN.     
2) Choose Vice Chairs for each of these topics.  The call for Vice Chairs has been made and I am happy to inform the group that we have volunteers for both the Network Resiliency and Optical LAN topics.  We remain looking for a volunteer for the HFC migration topic.   
3) Start looking at the FTTH handbook with an eye towards edition 10, areas of update, new topics for discussion. 4) Identify areas of collaboration with other committees, such as the new Data centre & Data Centre Interconnect committee where some topics can converge.  

Announcing the vice-chairs I would like to thank the following for stepping up to take on these important working roles:  

Vice Chair for Network Resilience:   Nicolas Vandepuy, Fixed Networks Services Innovation Director, Nokia
Vice Chair for Optical LAN: Cemil Canturk, Senior Marketing Manager Optical LAN, Nokia
Vice Chair for HFC Migration:  Position still open.  

We urge anyone interested in the topic of HFC Migration who would like to help organise the work on this topic to get in touch with me over the next week if this position might interest you.  We are extremely happy to get the ball rolling and continue on with the great work of the Deployment and Operations committee as we prepare for a busy 2027.
