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.

Open Access Committee: From Conference Debate to New Initiatives

Jul 24, 2026
Committee News | Open Access Working Group |

The Open Access Committee had a strong presence at the FTTH Conference, hosting a targeted workshop with case studies on how standards and technology are enhancing the Open Access customer experience, and delivering a panel session that brought together investors, Tier-1 multinational operators, aggregators and a national Open Access provider to debate what is required to unleash the power of Open Access.

The Committee is now progressing several key initiatives. It is drafting a paper on Open Access strategies aimed at unlocking ecosystem value while safeguarding investment, reviewing models across Europe and assessing progress to date to help shape future direction. In parallel, work has begun on a Europe-wide database of Open Access providers, mapping their products and services to improve transparency and enable better industry collaboration.
