COPPER SWITCH-OFF: EUROPEAN EXPERIENCE OF MIGRATION TO FIBRE
Fibre roll-out keeps on accelerating in Europe, and considerable operational, environmental and economic benefits are available by facilitating copper switch-off. Latest data show that fibre networks are pivotal to the transition to a greener economy, as they use much less energy than copper-based infrastructure while providing clear operational efficiencies alongside a higher quality customer experience.
However, there are several regulatory and market obstacles in the EU to a fast and smooth transition to fibre. At the FTTH virtual Conference, the prominent experts representing operator, policymaker and analyst communities will delve into these issues.
