Government aid and broadband/FTTH plans: Where are we?
At a time when digital connectivity significantly drives economic growth, societal inclusion, and technological progress, the implementation of Fiber to the Home (FTTH) and Fiber to the Building (FTTB) technologies stands as profoundly significant.
This comprehensive report rigorously examines the current state of FTTH/B deployment in pivotal countries such as France, Germany, Italy, the UK, and the US.
It assesses the regulatory structures, governmental strategies, and initiatives devised to facilitate this transformative process.
Moreover, the report delves into the challenges encountered and strategic plans formulated to expand FTTH/B access to rural areas.
