FTTH Council Europe

🎉 Welcome to the FTTH Council Europe team, Claudia Pia Muraro Volpe! Claudia joins us to support our work across communications, events and stakeholder engagement, helping advance Europe’s full-fibre transition. Please join us in giving her a warm welcome!

📄Today we launch the #EU #Fibre Market Observatory: a quick-read dashboard on Europe’s full-fibre progress. EU39 FTTH/B now passes 295M homes, with 79% coverage and 160M subscribers — but take-up remains the key challenge. 🔗Download now: ftthcouncil.eu/resources/all-…
