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. 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.

Response to the public consultation on the draft BEREC Report on a consistent approach to migration and copper switch-off

The FTTH Council Europe welcomes this draft report on a consistent approach to migration and copper switch off. Studies commissioned by the FTTH Council suggest that FTTH/B availability will be between 85-90% by 2026. While these are forecast based on the current economic and regulatory situation and there will still be a long way to go to reach full coverage, we can expect that large parts of the EU will be fully covered by fibre networks by that date1). There is therefore a need to consider the practical issues related to migration from the old copper networks to the new VHCN networks which are being encouraged, both in deployment and take-up by national regulators and the European Commission.
