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.

In-Home Broadband Excellence Committee: Building on the Conference Momentum

The In-Home Broadband Excellence Committee is carrying forward the momentum built at the FTTH Conference in London, where its workshop set out the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of in-home connectivity. The central message was that the future of broadband excellence is won inside the home: fibre rollout is advancing rapidly and Wi-Fi technology is mature, yet the data continues to show significant experience gaps at the end-user level. 

The Committee's work reflects that reality, delivering on the promise of gigabit connectivity takes more than network deployment alone, and requires the industry to align spectrum policy, engineering practices, data-driven insights and sustainable commercial models so that performance reaches the device itself. Consumers do not experience access speeds; they experience performance, making consistently strong in-home experiences a shared responsibility across the ecosystem, from operators and vendors to policymakers and service providers. 

Building on this, the Committee continues to drive industry alignment through its guides, workshops and webinars, turning network capability into real-world quality of experience for the end user.
