The FTTH Council Global Alliance (FCGA) is the platform for cooperation of the six regional FTTH Councils active in North America, Latin America, Middle East and north Africa, Africa, Europe and Asia-Pacific. All FTTH Councils share a common goal: the acceleration of fiber to the home adoption. They all act as powerful and independent organisations in their respective geographies. This regional focus gives the FTTH Councils a special strength to adapt their activities to the particular market situation in their area.


The FTTH Council Global Alliance ensures that those regional efforts are combined with the power of global cooperation. Within the FCGA,  the FTTH Councils exchange studies, information and latest market developments.

THE FUTURE OF WORK: ANALYZING GLOBAL BROADBAND TRENDS

The Fibre Broadband Association and the Fibre-to-the-Home Council Global Alliance conducted the Future of Work survey of our industry to understand the business and personal experience after the shift to a remote workforce was brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and how these experiences differ at the regional level.

In the study, we aimed to gain insights into productivity, how it is measured, the use of applications, challenges faced by remote workers and how or if they were resolved. In addition, we considered what broadband technology is most used by at home workers and what technology and infrastructure investments businesses have made to support them. The outcome illustrated interesting regional and cultural differences but also drew attention to several areas of global alignment.
