The FTTH Council Europe has seven active Committees and a Working Group, covering a wide range of fibre-related topics and industry priorities. The Committees and Working Group of the FTTH Council Europe are instrumental in driving the organization’s mission to advance FTTH technology across the continent. By harnessing expertise, shaping policy, strategizing market development, and promoting collaboration, these groups ensure that the Council remains a leading force in the telecommunications industry. Their strategic importance cannot be overstated, as they lay the foundation for a connected, digital Europe where high-speed internet access is a reality for all.

By mean of this series of interviews with Committee and Working Group Chairs, the FTTH Council Europe aims at fostering a sense of community and collaboration among its Members. Committees and Working Group provide a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and collaborative problem-solving. This collective effort not only accelerates innovation but also builds a robust support system for member organizations, enhancing their capabilities and competitiveness in the market. This is way the efforts and engagement of their individual members deserve the spotlight.

2026 FTTH Market Panorama - Report by Country

The FTTH Council Europe Market Panorama – By Country Report provide a detailed and comparable view of the development of full-fibre connectivity across Europe, based on data collected as of September 2025. Prepared by the FTTH Council Europe Market Intelligence Committee, with the support of IDATE, these reports draw on a robust bottom-up methodology that combines operator inputs, regulatory sources, and market intelligence. 

Across Europe, the FTTH/B market is entering a new phase. While network rollout has reached high levels of maturity in many countries, the focus is progressively shifting from coverage expansion to network utilisation and monetisation. As highlighted in the Market Panorama, nearly 80% of premises across the EU39 are now covered, yet a significant gap remains between infrastructure availability and active subscriptions. This evolving landscape reveals increasingly heterogeneous market dynamics.

Some countries are approaching full coverage and high penetration levels, driven by strong policy frameworks and competitive ecosystems. Others continue to face structural challenges related to deployment economics, geography, or demand stimulation. Overall, the Country Reports aim to help stakeholders understand each market’s current position and identify the key drivers that will shape the next phase of fibre development in Europe, accelerate take-up, and close the gap between infrastructure availability and active subscriptions.
