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.

Committees and Working Group provide a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and collaborative problem-solving.

Position Paper - Gigabit Infrastructure Act

FTTH Council Europe members welcome the proposed Gigabit Infrastructure Act. Sharing civil infrastructure can lower the cost and accelerate the deployment of FTTH in Europe and should be encouraged. The Council supports the introduction of a Single Information Point and clarifications on the conditions to refuse the requests to coordinate civil works. However, to ensure legal clarity, the Council believes the text should be enhanced (especially with regard to the use of virtual access products, coordination of civil works, advance publication of intentions regarding civil works, and permit granting timeframes) and harmonization balanced with national specificities. The Association looks forward to supporting the co-legislators in finalising this important legislative Act.
